EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of clouds 39,000 feet above Stavanger, Norway. Taken from a DC-8 plane by NASA, this image captures the ethereal essence of our Earth's atmosphere. The polar stratospheric clouds visible in the picture are classified into two types: Type I and Type II. The lower layer, known as Type I, exhibits a striking dark orange or brown hue that adds an element of mystery to the scene. Above it lies Type II, characterized by its pristine white appearance. NASA operates their modified Douglas DC-8 jetliner aircraft as a flying science laboratory, enabling them to conduct groundbreaking research and exploration missions. This particular photograph serves as a testament to their commitment towards unraveling the secrets of our solar system. The location itself holds significance - Stavanger is nestled in Rogaland county and offers an ideal vantage point for observing celestial phenomena such as these unique cloud formations. As we gaze upon this snapshot from space exploration history, we are reminded of the vastness and complexity of our planet's weather patterns. This stunning image belongs to Heritage Images' collection dedicated to preserving significant moments in astronomy and space travel history. It serves as a reminder that beyond commercial interests lie endless wonders waiting to be discovered within our own atmosphere and beyond.
