RARE Cloud FORMATION
Rare ‘inspiring’ cloud formation looks like waves crashing across the horizon BBC News 10 DEC 2022. https://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploa...size=644%2C483 https://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploa...size=540%2C405 The images were taken in Wyoming (Pic: Rachel Gordon) A rare formation of clouds which may have inspired Van Gogh’s painting Starry Night has been spotted over Wyoming. The ‘awe-inspiring’ cloud formation looked like a wave crashing across the horizon when it appeared above Bighorn Mountains, Sheridan, on Tuesday. Locals rushed to take pictures of the clouds, an example of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability – a phenomenon that can occur in the air and, more commonly, in water. A fast-moving layer of fluid or air ‘washes’ over a slower, thicker layer – which in turn drags the surface over the top before ‘breaking’. Rachel Gordon, who took snaps from her parent’s home, told the BBC: ‘This was special and I immediately knew I needed to capture it.’ https://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploa...size=540%2C427 The rare formation of clouds may have inspired Van Gogh’s 1889 painting Starry Night |
