- Blue Holes |
|
Blue Holes are giant and sudden drops in underwater elevation that gets their names from the dark and foreboding blue tone they exhibit when viewed from above in relationship to surrounding waters. They can be hundreds of feet deep and while divers are able to explore some of them, they are largely devoid of oxygenthat would support sea life due to poor water circulation; leaving them eerily empty. Some Blue Holes, however, contain ancient fossil remains that have been discovered, preserved in their depths.

- Mammatus Clouds |
|
True to their ominous appearance, Mammatus Clouds are often harbingers of a coming storm or other extreme weather condition. Typically composed primarily of ice, they can extend from hundreds of miles in each direction and individual formations can remain visibly static for ten to fifteen minutes at a time. While they may appear foreboding, they are merely the messengers
appearing around before or even after severe weather system. |

- Sink Holes |
|
Sink Holes are one the world's scariest natural phenomena. Over time, water erodes the soil under the planet's surface
until in some cases, quite suddenly, the land above gives way and collapses into the earth. Many Sink Holes occur naturally, while others are the result of human intervention. Displacing groundwater can open cavities while broken water pipes can erode otherwise stable subterranean sediments. Urban Sink Holes, upto hundreds of feet deep have formed and consumed parts of city blocks, sidewalks and even entire buildings. |

- Lenticular Clouds |
|
Ever wonder the truth about UFOs? Avoided by traditional pilots but loved by sailplane aviators, Lenticular Clouds are masses of clouds with strong internal upliftthat can drive a motorless flyer to high elevations. Their shape is quite often mistaken for a mysterious flying object or the artificial cover for one. Generally, Lenticular Clouds are formed as wind speeds up while moving around a large land object such as a mountain.

- Orange Moons |
|
This phenomena is something most people have seen before - beautiful Orange Moon hanging low in the sky. But what causes this phenomena and, for that matter, does the moon has a color at all? When the moon appears lower on the horizon,
rays of light bouncing off it have to pass through a great deal more of our atmosphere which slowly strips away everything but yellows, oranges and red. The hues have enhanced colors to more clearly show the differences in shade that illustrates the mixed topography and minerology that tell the story of the moon's surface. Looking at the colors in combination with the craters, one can start to trace the history of impacts and consequent material movements across the face of our mysterious moon. |
