The list of cloud types groups all genera as high (cirro-, cirrus), middle (alto-), multi-level (nimbo-, cumulo-, cumulus), and low (strato-, stratus). These groupings are determined by the altitude level or levels in the troposphere at which each of the various cloud types is normally found.
The Kordylewski clouds are located near the L 4 and L 5 Lagrange points of the Earth–Moon system. They are about 6 degrees in angular diameter. [7] The clouds can drift up to 6 to 10 degrees from those points. [11] Other observations suggest they move around the Lagrange points in ellipses of about 6 by 2 degrees. [7]

The N 70 Nebula, in the Large Magellanic Cloud has a shell structure and is really a bubble in space. It is a "Super Bubble". Barnard's Loop: 300 ly (92 pc) [49] [50] H II region: Supernova over the last 4 million years probably carved cavities in gas clouds forming the semi circle shape of Barnard’s loop.

Paranal Observatory nights. [3] The concept of noctcaelador tackles the aesthetic perception of the night sky. [4]Depending on local sky cloud cover, pollution, humidity, and light pollution levels, the stars visible to the unaided naked eye appear as hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of white pinpoints of light in an otherwise near black sky together with some faint nebulae or clouds ...
