PIX4670923: Halo around the Sun - Sun Halo - Halos are due to the light of the Sun reflected by high-altitude clouds, cirrostratus, composed of ice crystals. They bend the light and cause a perfect circle around the Sun. Here we can see: - around the Sun, the halo of 22* radius, rather little contrast. - at the top of the halo of 22* radius, the upper arc tangent in the shape of a U evase. - above, “” parallele”” to the halo of 22* radius, the arc of Parry. - near the zenith, the arc cirucmzenithal, very colourful. Quimper Halos are caused by sunlight being refracted by cirro-stratus clouds. These are thin clouds, very high in the atmosphere, and are composed of ice crystals. They bend light at a 22 degree angle, which creates a halo around the sun that is 44 degrees in diameter. In brief: - around the Sun, the 22* halo, not very contrasted. - atop the 22* halo, the upper tangent arc (a splayed U shape). - above it, “” parallel”” to the 22* halo, the Parry arc. - near the zenith, the cirucmzenithal arc, very colorful.

PIX4664526: Paraceratherium and child - Paraceratherium and child - A female Paraceratherium and her little seen 30 million years ago in northwestern China. The Paraceratherium was a gigantic terrestrial mammal nearly six metres high and weighing 20 tons. Apparently to modern Rhinoceros, it disappeared 23 million years ago. A Paraceratherium mother grazes on leaves and twigs of a poplar tree 30 million years ago during the Rupelian Stage of the Oligocene Epoch in northwest China. Paraceratherium is believed to be the largest mammal ever to have walked the Earth. Adult Paraceratherium are estimated to have been 18 ft tall at the shoulder with a maximum raised head height of 26 ft. They may have weighed as much as 20 tons. Related to modern rhinoceroses, Paraceratherium became extinct about 23 million years ago / Bridgeman Images

PIX4664915: Pyrenees views by shuttle 2001 - STS108 - 10/12/2001 The high spine of the Pyrenees Mountains at the French and Spanish border is snow covered in this 70 mm frame, photographed from the Space Shuttle Endeavour. The highest point of the Pyrenees is 3404 meters, though outside the area pictured. Snow - free foothills of the Pyrenees in Aquitaine (France) appear at the bottom (north is to the bottom of the view). According to geologists studying the STS - 108 photo collection, the Pyrenees range began forming about 320 million years ago and was strongly uplifted again during early stages of Eurasian - African plate collision. Complex folded strata on the Spanish side (near Pamplona) appear as bends and waves in foothill rock across the top of the view. Tin, tungsten, talc, fluorite, barium and gold have been mined from the mountains, and petroleum is produced from the adjacent Aquitaine sedimentary basin / Bridgeman Images
