Growing thunderstorm front
The approach of a thunderstorm begins with a change in the cloud, a cell rapidly growing in all directions, shooting after a thunderstorm, by nightfall there was again a thunderstorm.
Cumulonimbus clouds
Height of base: 1,100 - 6,500 ft
Latin: cumulus - heap; nimbus - rainy cloud
Cumulonimbus are heavy and dense low-level clouds, extending high into the sky in towers, plumes or mountain shaped peaks. Commonly known as thunderclouds, the base is often flat and very dark, and may only be a few hundred feet above the Earth's surface. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with extreme weather such as heavy torrential downpours, hail storms, lightning and tornados.
If there is thunder, lightning or hail, it's a cumulonimbus cloud rather than nimbostratus.

Змиевы валы. Предназначение. Мои мысли.
Валы, как сложное, но в то же время очень простое в понимании сообщество кристаллов, запоминающие мысли, эмоции и физические явления от всех пространств и подпространств одновременно. Почему люди прошлого назвали валы змиевыми, полагаю они видели, своим зрением кристаллические силовые энергоизлучения. Какие чудеса созидала особого рода энергия, смотрите в фильме.

Time-lapse of clouds at sunset
Shot on August 12, 2018, the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius.
Altocumulus (Ac)
White or grey, or both white and grey, patch, sheet or layer of cloud, generally with shading, composed of laminae, rounded masses, rolls, etc., which are sometimes partly fibrous or diffuse and which may or may not be merged; most of the regularly arranged small elements usually have an apparent width between 1° and 5°.
Cirrus (Ci)
Detached clouds in the form of white, delicate filaments or white or mostly white patches or narrow bands. These clouds have a fibrous (hair-like) appearance, or a silky sheen, or both.
Cirrocumulus (Cc)
Thin, white patch, sheet or layer of cloud without shading, composed of very small elements in the form of grains, ripples, etc., merged or separate, and more or less regularly arranged; most of the elements have an apparent width of less than 1°.

How to cheaply shoot a solar eclipse
A very simple and cheap way to shoot a solar eclipse on a video and a photo camera.
The sun is very bright for shooting without special filters, but not all cameras, for example, smartphones can attach filters there are none or they are very expensive.
It's another matter of glasses for observing solar eclipses, they are cheap and they can be used with cameras and a smartphone to shoot solar eclipses, especially if they are partial and bright sun blinds the sensors.
This is the first time that I am photographing the Solar Partial Eclipse on August 11, 2018, which passes over the entire Arctic from northern Europe to eastern Russia.

Lenticular cloud timelapse in 4k
In airflow crossing a hill, mountain or ridge, orographic clouds may occur below, at or above the top of the obstacle. Orographic clouds in the troposphere may differ notably from the usual characteristics of any of the 10 cloud genera; however, tropospheric orographic clouds are always classified as one of these genera.
A beautiful phenomenon of nature shot on August 11, 2018.

Solar eclipse on August 11, 2018
August 11, 2018 was a new moon and a partial eclipse of the Sun, which could be observed in the north and east of Russia. However, the best visibility was for inhabitants of the circumpolar latitudes of the northern hemisphere.
A partial eclipse began at 11:02 in Moscow time near the island of Labrador in Canada, continued over Greenland and Iceland, and then in Northern Europe. Already at 11:40 Moscow time, the Moon's disc appeared over the territory of Russia, beginning with the Murmansk, the eclipse proceeded in the southeast direction - thus practically all the inhabitants of Russia, however, except for Chukotka, Kamchatka and the south-western territories, they could observe the latter in this year solar eclipse.
The maximum phase of the eclipse occurred at 12:46 near Wrangel Island, the eclipse ended over China at 14:31 Moscow time. In Moscow, the maximum phase could be observed at 12:36, reports the Moscow Planetarium.
This year this particular eclipse of the Sun is the third and last - the previous ones occurred on February 15 and July 13. It is worth recalling that to observe the eclipse with the unaided eye is dangerous for sight - special means of protection are needed.
Duration from (06:40 UTC) to (12:38 UTC)
From Russia, the Sun eclipsed to a maximum of 68%.

Time-lapse form-changing lenticular clouds
These lens-shaped orographic wave clouds form when the air is stable and winds blow across hills and mountains from the same or similar direction at different heights through the troposphere.
What are lenticular clouds?
These strange, unnatural looking clouds sometimes form downwind of hills or mountains. They are quite unusual in the British Isles but do occasionally occur. They look a lot like the traditional shape of flying saucers in science fiction, and real lenticular clouds are believed to be one of the most common explanations for UFO sightings across the world.
How do we categorize lenticular clouds?
There are three main types of lenticular clouds: altocumulus standing lenticular (ACSL), stratocumulus standing lenticular (SCSL), and cirrocumulus standing lenticular (CCSL), varying in altitude above the ground.

Explosion of a bright meteor from the Perseid stream
Entering the atmosphere, a large space rocks, are often followed by explosions and flares of a red-hot plasma. This video is a stone from the Perseid stream, on the night of August 1, 2018. At the time of the greatest flash intensity, the light was as bright as the full moon in the sky, the glow of the meteor was circular, it was halo, the reflection of light from millions of ice crystals in upper layers of the atmosphere. From another angle where the camera captured only a part of the meteor, there are noctilucent clouds on the horizon.
The intense plasma trace held for several seconds after the disappearance of the meteor, a bright band of hot gases, like a laser beam, glowed bright blue and red light. Rare bright fireballs in the sky often are harbingers of denser clusters of plumes of cosmic stones left by asteroids and comets.
Comet Dust
Each July and August the Earth encounters debris left behind from comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. This comet has an orbit of 133 years and last entered the inner solar system in 1992.
The strongest Perseid rates this year are expected to occur on the Sunday night/Monday morning August 12/13, when the Earth closest to the core orbit of comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle.
Theoretically, the best time to watch the Perseids is just before the break of dawn when the radiant lies highest in a dark sky. This is usually around 04:00 local time.

Bright meteors in July 2018
Video selection of three brightest meteors with a duration of observation of up to five seconds.
Some meteors fly quickly while burning in dense layers of the atmosphere, the stones split into fragments, from the Earth it looks like a faltering fire track with flares from the explosion of fragments of cosmic stones. Other stones have a different structure and are burned by an even, uninterrupted beach, for example they look like a huge plasma ball that flies half the horizon gently extinguishing in brightness. Meteors are quite difficult to record on the camera, since if the bosoms do not exceed the brightness of the full moon, ordinary cameras do not see them well. For example, this video uses high-light-sensitive analog cameras, they are cheap and at the same time they see better in the dark than a smartphone Samsung galaxy s9.
At first you will see 3 meteors in a row, the real speed of playback as they were in the sky. Then repeat multiple times without slowing down.

Ball lightning during a thunderstorm
Before the storm began in the city when it was on the horizon, I set up the camera and accidentally filmed a strange phenomenon. Only 2 kilometers from me, no more, the camera recorded a white glow, it was a bright flash of light about a meter in diameter near the edges of trees, during a flash, the microphone recorded cotton.

Crepuscular rays
Sometimes, dark bluish streaks and light beams are observed radiating from the Sun across the purple light. The streaks are the shadows of clouds at or below the horizon and are called crepuscular rays. Occasionally, the beams and shadows may cross the sky, becoming visible again at the antisolar point (anticrepuscular rays). The name “crepuscular rays” is also used to indicate shadowed bands cast by clouds at any time of day. Pale blue or whitish beams are sometimes seen diverging from the Sun hidden behind cloud (usually Cumulus or Cumulonimbus). The darker streaks are the shadows of parts of the irregular cloud. Sunbeams penetrating through gaps in a layer of low cloud, and rendered visible by water or dust particles in the air, may also be referred to as crepuscular rays.
