Looking through the window of the space shuttle in early missions, astronauts used optical sensors to detect lightning in bright sunlit clouds far below.

Below, far below, was a torn floor of sunlit cloud slashed by enormous rents through which he saw the sea.

He seemed to be floating on a gauzy, sunlit cloud.

In the sky, huge sunlit clouds piled sparkling over the distant mainland.

In the sky above the hills, a large plane flew in front of red, sunlit clouds.

He put the papers away and leaned back, gazing out of the window at the bright banks of sunlit cloud as they reached thirty thousand feet.

Solid-state optical transmitters revealed to the pilot a sea of sunlit clouds, far and far below.

It sank away from under them till the patches became spots and the sunlit clouds a vast, luminous blur.

As we crossed the Swedish coast the sky was streaked with sunlit red clouds.

Her dark hair shimmered; her white robes shone like sunlit clouds, her eyes gleamed like the silver moon.
