La Nasa immortalise un phénomène atmosphérique rarissime au-dessus du Pacifique

La météo peut être surprenante vue du ciel, mais parfois encore plus vue de l’espace. Une image satellite a immortalisé un phénomène pour le moins étrange en 2012, comme le rapporte le site Live Science. Deux traînées lumineuses aux allures de double arc-en-ciel, ainsi que trois tourbillons...

Looking Down on the Andes

The South American mountain range intercepts moisture, producing a distinct transition from rainforest to desert.

In 2022, severe lightning ignited fires in Alaska. 🔥

A year later, @VUamsterdam scientists with @nasa’s ABoVE project are studying the burned tundra to understand how Arctic fires impact plants, soil, permafrost and more. https://go.nasa.gov/3DQ2fiF
