Noctilucent Clouds. This image was taken 2
July 2011 while airborne at 33,000 feet. From this position approaching
Denver, Colorado (near 39N, 105W) you can easily see some Noctilucent
Clouds above the horizon to the north. The city of Denver can be seen
illuminating some clouds above it, with the darkness of the Rocky
Mountains to the left. On the left horizon are distant thunder clouds
which should be the highest clouds in the photo, but are silhouetted in
darkness and dwarfed by the higher NLC above, by a factor of 10x. This
photo serves as proof that NLC have been seen as far south as Colorado! An
incredible sight! Photo: BrianWhittaker (.com) as seen on
