Polar stratospheric clouds  ( PSCs ), also known as  nacreous clouds  ( from  nacre , or mother of pearl , due to its iridescence), are clouds  in the winter polar st ratosphere  at altitudes of 15,000–25,000 m (49,000–82,000 ft). They are u sually spotted only near the poles, nacreous clouds form very high  in the atmosphere (twice as high as commercial airplanes fly), where the air is particularly cold and dry. However, they  are best observed during civil twilight , when the Sun is between 1 and 6 degrees below the horizon, as well as in winter  and in more northerly latitudes.   The colorful shine actually comes from the setting sun being lower  in the sky than the clouds, so they reflect sunbeams back toward Earth.

She looks around then see a girl sitting next to her.  Hermione : "Hello, what's your name?" Luna : ( looks Hermione, a little bit confused ) "Are you talking to me?" Hermione : "Yeah, why?" Luna : "Nothing. It's just... People usually too busy with themselves to even ask the name of a stranger sitting next to them."  Hermione : ( smile ) "Well, I'm not that kind of people. I'm Hermione Granger, and you are?" Luna : "Luna Lovegood. It's good to meet a person like you."  Hermione : "What a pleasure. It's good to meet you...
