NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Noctilucent Clouds over Florida” is copyrighted by Pascal Fouquet. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

These rare noctilucent clouds are visible at night, just before sunrise or after sunset. In this specific instance, the clouds were created by a SpaceX rocket launch about 30 minutes earlier. The rocket's exhaust provided the ice crystals in the upper atmosphere, which then reflected sunlight. This image captures the unusual phenomenon over Florida.
