Cirrus over Paris
What's that over Paris? Cirrus. Typically, cirrus clouds appear white or gray when reflecting sunlight, can appear dark at sunset (or sunrise) against a better lit sky. Cirrus are among the highest types of clouds and are usually thin enough to see stars through.
Cirrus clouds may form from moisture released above storm clouds and so may herald the arrival of a significant change in weather. Conversely, cirrus clouds have also been seen on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Titan, Uranus, and Neptune. The featured image was taken two days ago from a window in District 15, Paris, France, Earth. The brightly lit object on the lower right is, of course, the Eiffel Tower.

ReplyDeletecirrus cloudsa are also frequently mis-labled as "chem trails" and believed to be the result of chemicals added to jet fuel for the sake of poisoning the population for one reason or another. Cirrus clouds sometimes form from the contrails of jets if conditions favour it.
ReplyDeleteIn this image I noticed that all the tallest buildings are the same height...And vastly shorter than the Eiffel tower. ☺
ReplyDelete"The featured image was taken two days ago from a window in District 15, Paris, France, Earth." I chuckled xD
