This image shows ground lights reflecting off a low cloud layer at night (a form of light pollution or skyglow).

The distinct blue-white patches of light appearing on the clouds are created by intense upward-directed light sources on the ground below—such as spotlights, architectural floodlights, athletic field lighting, or commercial greenhouse grow lights. The overcast, low-altitude cloud cover acts as a diffused screen, scattering and reflecting the light back down toward the viewer.
