Summary Author: Fabio Di Stefano

After a cloudy, cold day recently, the evening sky cleared enough to
present the lunar corona seen above. Coronas result from
diffraction of moonlight (or sunlight) passing through
mid-level clouds composed of tiny, similar-sized water
droplets. Photo taken December 27, 2020.

Grim Clouds over the Paris Skyline

Summary Authors: Bertrand Kulik Jim Foster

Shown above is a view of the Parisian sky taken from a window of my
home, in the 15^th District of Paris, on April 16, 2021. This rather
somber sky features primarily stratocumulus clouds with some
mammatus and or asperitas development (foreground). A patch or
two of blue sky, however, gives hope that more cheerful weather is on
the way.

Photo details: Canon EOS 5D Mark III camera; TAMRON SP 15-30 mm
lens; F/2.8 Di VC USD A012; ƒ/9.0; 30.0 mm; 1/500 second exposure; 100
ISO.
