NOCTILUCENT CLOUD SEASON BEGINS: On May 24th, NASA's AIM spacecraft spotted
wispy electric-blue clouds floating above the Arctic Ocean. This marks the
beginning of the 2016 season for noctilucent clouds.  Seeded by meteoroids,
icy noctilucent clouds form at the edge of space where they can be seen
shining in the night sky.  Each year, their first detection by spacecraft is
usually quickly followed by ground-based sightings. Indeed, a photographer in
North Wales spotted some this morning. Visit http://spaceweather.com for
