"Night Shining" Clouds


A NASA satellite has captured the first occurrence of mysterious shiny polar clouds that form 50 miles above Earth's surface. The AIM (Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere) spacecraft returned some of the first data on these noctilucent or "night shining" clouds on June 11, 2007. In this image of the Arctic regions of Europe and North America, white and light blue represent noctilucent cloud structures. Black indicates areas where no data is available.

When I was in High School the space program was just getting off the ground, so to speak. LOL
Now we have discovered beautiful polar night shining clouds over the poles. Could it be a reflection of the polar ice. Wouldn't that be interesting. It's reflecting off of a blue screen and we just live in a fictional world. Above the blackness is a giant being playing with us. Lets hope his garage isn't destroyed by some giant Katrina. What a thought!
I was suppose to get a life when Stargate went off the air and I find myself looking for new ways to entertain my imagination.
