Photos - Noctilucent Clouds

Despite appearances these are taken well after sunset.  They are only visible when the sun is past the horizon far enough to illuminate these clouds which are 40-50 miles high and nothing else in the sky.  Scientists don't yet fully understand the nature of these clouds as they are understandably very difficult to analyze.  You can't send a plane that high.
