Admiring the noctilucent clouds...
From Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noctilucent_cloud They are the highest clouds in the Earth's atmosphere, located in the mesosphere at altitudes of around 75 to 85 kilometers (47 to 53 mi). They are normally too faint to be seen, and are visible only when illuminated by sunlight from below the horizon while the lower layers of the atmosphere are in the Earth's shadow. Noctilucent clouds are not fully understood as a meteorological phenomenon. Clouds generally are not able to reach such high altitudes with such thin air pressures. This was the first time the Captain or I had ever seen them. Commentsthenewarea51
