Here is something so fascinating that I thought some of you might appreciate 
knowing about it- If not, kindly ignore and snore.

STRANGE CLOUDS; Last night, sky watchers in Northern Ireland witnessed a
vivid display of electric-blue noctilucent clouds.  Also known as "NLCs,"
these clouds float through the outer reaches of Earth's atmosphere at the
very edge of space.  They are most often seen from far-northern places such
as Scandinavia or Canada, but in recent years they have been spotted as far
south as Colorado and Utah.  Last night's display marks the beginning of the
2006 noctilucent cloud season.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for observing
tips and a gallery of recent sightings.
