“The Edge of Space” is copyrighted by Ralf Rohner. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThere's no sharp boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space. Some define the Karman line at 100 kilometers, others at 80 kilometers. This photo shows noctilucent clouds, which are high-latitude summer clouds. They form near the transition between the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere, giving us a visual marker for the edge of space.
