A pattern of downstream eddies in the stratocumulus clouds over the Pacific Ocean west of Baja California, was photographed by the crew of the second Skylab manned mission (Skylab 3) from the space station cluster in Earth orbit. The clouds, produced by the cold California current running to the south and southwest, are prevented from rising by warm air above them.

A Colorful Confluence in the Canadian Arctic - by Mars, The Moon & More

Re-processed & Enlarged

The colorful confluence and surrounding landscape in the eastern Canadian Arctic are visible in this image acquired on June 30, 2014, with the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8. The relatively dark blue-green water of the Back River contrasts sharply with the light turquoise of the Hayes.
