Noctilucent clouds(NLC's) have been observed
on the Earth since the late 19th century and this
year their was a report that NLC's have been
seen on satelite images from Mars. This
phenomena could give models for how NLC's
are formed and how or if differences in the
distance from the Sun, different flux rates, and
potential effects of the Solar wind. NLC
phenomena has different theories of cause and
this might include solar wind interaction.
NLC's are high altitude clouds that appear on a
seasonal basis in high latitudes. NLC might be
a phenomena that occurs in other solar system
bodies aside from just the Earth and Mars.
Now baseline data can be expanded to see solar
wind interaction.
