AT THE EDGE OF SPACE: this photo taken on July 22nd by astronauts onboard the International Space Station. The space station was located some 320 km (200 miles) above Mongolia at the time of the display. Astronauts pointed their camera out a north-looking window where the midnight sun illuminated the clouds. The black expanse of Earth at the base of the snapshot is Russia.

The electric-blue band, a noctilucent cloud, lies approximately 83 km (51 miles) above Earth's surface. The sky at that altitude is space-black. It is the realm of meteors, high-energy auroras, and tiny crystals of ice that glow blue when struck by sunlight. Noctilucent clouds (NLCs) are made of those crystals; how they form in the extremely-dry upper reaches of Earth's atmosphere is a mystery.

The view from the ISS is stunning, but space travel is not required to see NLCs. These mostly-polar clouds have been sighted in recent years from Earth's surface as far south as Oregon, Washington, Iran and Turkey.

Noctilucent clouds really do hover "at the edge of space."
 
gud job...
luks beautiful..

thanks to the ISS Astronauts, who took these picture.

the best thing i like about this pic is the clear difference between the different layers of the Atmosphere. Simply Stunning!!!!

bhai maza aa gaya. katti chemistry ke prof lagyo so, udde nne jo paad marann me khusbu aawe sse sadde andon ki badbu jissi, hydrogen sulphide, h2s, jissi...aam jat tte inne kuchh ishya hi samjhe sse:):):)

but i'm joking, thoda vistar se samjhoa ji...

but seriously gd efrts.....
 
नांदल साब बात न्यू सै के, यो ISS (International Space Station) एक बहुत बड़ा घर बना राख्या सै आकाश मैं! अर यो घर घरती के चागुर्ते 16 बार चक्कर मार जा है! तो जो उस घर मैं रै है वो 16 बार सूरज नै उगते और डूबते हुए देखै है! तो भाई एक बैठ्या था जमा ठाली उस मरैबटते नै झट तै एक फोटो खींच ली! अर इस फोटो मैं धरती का सारा वायुमंडल दिख रहा है!

अर रही बात इन बादलों की तो, वोह तापमान कम होने की वजह से पानी crystallize हो जाता है!
