NOAA has released an updated Education Strategic Plan. We are grateful to the programs and partners who contributed to this vision for supporting a strong scientific workforce and engaging learners in our planet’s dynamic environment. NOAA Education contributes to a strong science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce, helping the United States maintain its position as a global leader. We inform and engage educators and learners in our planet’s dynamic environment, from space weather to fish migration patterns. We work with partners to deliver the broad range of NOAA science and stewardship to educational audiences and amplify the reach of that information.

The Space Cloud Watch project is collecting observation data and photographs of noctilucent clouds. These night-shining clouds are rare, high-altitude clouds that glow with a blue-silvery hue at dusk or dawn when the Sun shines on them from below the horizon. These ice clouds typically occur near the North and South Poles but are increasingly being reported at mid- and low latitudes. This space cloud article explains that observing them helps scientists better understand how human activities may affect our atmosphere. Your observations, when combined with satellite data and model simulations, can help scientists figure out why these noctilucent clouds are more frequently appearing at mid-low latitudes.
