Satellite photographs during the summer months frequently reveal a weather situation in which strong convective development is observed over the Rocky Mountains and several hundred kilometers to the east of the mountains, while the region immediately to the lee is essentially cloud free. It is proposed that an orographically induced mesoscale wave phenomenon may produce this situation.

"Earthrise tells the story of the first time the planet Earth was photographed in color from space. The photo, later called Earthrise, was taken in 1968 by the astronauts on Apollo 8, the first US space mission to break free of Earth's orbit and circle the Moon. The Apollo 8 astronauts were surveying the lunar surface for places to land future missions. As they were charting the Moon, they happened to look up just as Earth, in a flash of color and...
