Awesome Cloud Formation the First New Type Recognized Since 1951
A new type of cloud formation has been added to the meteorological lexicon – for the the first time in over 50 years! The new classification of undulus asperatus was appended to the canonical list currently used by cloud scientists (you know, cumulous , cumulonimbus, etc.) Not only are meteorologists hoping this will shake up the field a bit, leading to more cloud research (clouds are a poorly understood component in climate change studies!), but these clouds look fucking cool.

Thank You, EOSPSO!
Check out these faaantastic satellite images, brought to you by NASA’s Earth Observing System Project Science Office! Maybe it’s just me, but the one photo of an urban landscape sticks out like the ugly buck-toothed, big-eared bespectacled kid in your kindergarten class photo. Remote Sensing FTW!

Peering Into the Micro World
I just wanted to share this collection of microscoping images taken from various places. Micro-photography is nothing new (there are even yearly best-of collections) but I found this collection particularly spectacular! As usual, the biological structures are the most breathtaking.
