Some days ago, these beautiful,
"night-shining" clouds spilled over the Canadian border into the lower United States as far south as Denver, Colorado.
Yesterday, they appeared over Europe.
High above Earth's surface where our planet's atmosphere meets the vacuum of space, a ray of sunlight hit a wispy, rippling bank of icy noctilucent clouds (NLCs).
They lit up, glowing electric-blue, producing this stunning apparition over Queensferry, Scotland!
"A stitch of 2 images shows the broad extent of the display last night," says photographer Adrian Maricic.
"It was bright and vivid, the best of the 2012 noctilucent cloud season so far for us in Scotland!"
