Atmospheric Optics
Ever wonder why the sun can look flattened at sunset? Or what a nacreous cloud is? You've heard of rainbows, but what about fogbows?
I came across this site from a SpaceWeather.com story about why the moon would looked like molten lava in this picture. Also from the same story: how the moon set/ moon rise looks from the ISS.

Nice links.

Pretty sky pictures, yay!
-
wooo...nice. I'm gonna try and turn that into a wallpaper. Cincinatus, one atmospheric ) coming up...uh...down! *takes out manual on Photoshop 7*

Handsome and interesting -- thanks, Cincinatus.
-
I imagine this would be very educational if I could stop looking at the pictures. Thanks!
-
Ah yes, and that would be the old one about how if you enjoy it, it can't be good for you.

These are purty. Nice post.

Purty stuff, yea. But twenny years ago, I used to see Jarbidge Mountain 100 miles to the south of me nearly every evening. Sun dogs were rare. Now I see sun dogs daily, and rarely see the mythical* mountain. I wanna see the green flash. Mythical because it seems to float on the horizon when you can see it, and because every summer for twenny years, my ol'man and I have been planning to do a two week camping trip up there, and it always gets messed--maybe this year!
