1990s Andes Cloud Earth Science From Space Image Photos Sciences Andes Mountains


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing cloud patterns over the majestic Andes Mountains, as seen from space. Taken during Mission STS-31 in April 1990 by the crew of Shuttle Discovery, this image showcases an array of cloud banks that stretch across the frame. At the bottom left corner, deep cumulus clouds create a dramatic contrast with their dark and billowy formations. Towards the right of center, low-level stratus clouds add a touch of serenity to the composition. However, it is the ethereal high-level cirrostratus clouds at far right that steal the show with their brilliant white appearance against the backdrop of space. These delicate wisps seem almost otherworldly as they dance gracefully above Earth's atmosphere. Just below Earth's limb lies a dark area representing part of South America's west coast. A patch of sunlight glimmers off the Pacific Ocean, creating a radiant spectacle amidst this celestial scene. This remarkable photograph not only showcases nature's breathtaking beauty but also serves as an invaluable resource for earth science enthusiasts and researchers alike. Its inclusion in Science Photo Library exemplifies its significance within scientific communities worldwide.
