... 2004 June 7 . Mammatus Clouds Over Mexico . ... Normal cloud bottoms are flat because moist warm air that rises and cools will condense into water droplets at a very specific temperature, which usually corresponds to a very specific height. After water droplets form that air becomes an opaque cloud. Under some conditions, however, cloud pockets can develop that contain large droplets of water or ice that fall into clear air as they evaporate. ... About APOD | ... NASA Official: Jay Norris. ...

The above picture was taken in a specific color of light emitted by hydrogen gas called Hydrogen-alpha . ... The energy source of our Sun is the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium deep within its core. Astronomers are still working to understand, however, why so few neutrinos are measured from the Sun's core. ... About APOD | ...

... This is because moist warm air that rises and cools will condense into water droplets at a specific temperature, which usually corresponds to a very specific height.

... Moon . ... What can astronomers tell us about the different colors on the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa? ... We can use the colors of Europa s surface to tell us about the chemical compounds that make up the surface and subsurface of the jovian moon. Even before the first spacecraft made a close visit to Europa, astronomers on Earth used telescopes to study the moon and were able to use a technique called spectroscopy to determine that Europa s surface is composed mostly of water ice. ...
