Satellites: NOAA-15 and NOAA-17, part of NOAA's 850km-high (530 mile-high) Polar Orbiting satellites
There is art in the clouds
The two images below show the amazing
shapes that may be seen in clouds.
The left hand picture was taken over the Atlantic Ocean--Puerto Rico is the
island furthest east, with Haiti/Dominican Republic to the west of Puerto Rico.
The right hand image is a closer view of some of the clouds in the left hand
image.
This image shows the towering nature of these clouds since each pixel in the
image is nearly 1 kilometer by 1 kilometer.
If you click on the image to get the highest resolution version, the clouds that
must be so huge look extremely delicate and fragile.
And...like the finest artwork!
