This is super cool.

This picture is the result of the moon illuminating the atmosphere and NASA’s Suomi’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite, VIIRS for short, imaging the atmosphere at different light wavelengths. The VIIRS images the earth from green to near infrared light frequencies, and with the help of light intensification (think electronic gain on cameras), this image was made possible [NASA Goddard]

Jeff Niederstadt provided this picture to us on our Facebook page and we had to share it on the blog. It is a picture of Mammatus clouds over Fountain Colorado on July 31, 2012. This is a pretty unique and cool shot and shows the beauty of the monsoon season in Colorado perfectly. Great shot Jeff!

Cool image alert: Radar inside of hurricane hunter aircraft investigation Isaac

I personally hate flying, but it’s totally on the bucket list to try to get on one of these flights in my lifetime!
