21 Jul 2011 --- This astronaut photograph, taken from the vantage of the International Space Station (ISS), shows the streak of an ionized plasma plume created by the shuttle Atlantis?s descent through the atmosphere. At the time of the image, the ISS was positioned northwest of the Galapagos Islands, while Atlantis was roughly 2,200 kilometers (1,367 miles) to the northeast, off the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. --- Image by © NASA/Corbis
Mali --- Complex cloud formations over the Senegal–Mali border, Africa. Cumulonimbus clouds like these can tower more than ten miles high in the tropics, only flattening, as here, when they reach the tropopause—the border between the troposphere, the lowest and densest part of Earth's atmosphere, and the high-altitude stratosphere.
