Noctilucent Clouds
Noctilucent Clouds at Howe Sound, B.C.

NLC's are Earth's highest clouds, formed by water ice crystals condensing to microscopic dust particles, generally about 80km above Earth. This height allows our setting Sun's rays still to be caught after sunset. The electric blue that it shows is quite spectacular.
