	weekly photo 043   photo date: June 14, 2005   Photo of noctilucent clouds (NLC's). What the exact chouse is is not exactly sure, but it are very little dust particles with a minimum amount of frost on them. This rare cloud type flows on an altitude of about 80 Kilometers high, and because of that they glow even longer than the sky itself. The orange glow in this photo is caused by city lights. The time was 23:56 (GMT +1).
