NASA launched a spacecraft in 2007 to study the "Aeronomy [ai-RON-uh-mee] of Ice" in this layer of the atmosphere, which is home to nocti-lucent clouds. Its upper portion includes a three mile thick layer of sodium, which is caused by meteors burning up while passing through this layer. Extending thirty to fifty-five miles above Earth's surface, this layer features a rapid decrease in temperature with height, and has the lowest temperatures in the atmosphere. For 10 points, name this part of the atmosphere located in between the stratosphere and the thermosphere.
