Explanation:
What's that over Paris?
Cirrus.
Typically,
cirrus clouds
appear white or gray when reflecting sunlight, can appear dark at sunset (or sunrise)
against a better lit sky.
Cirrus are among the
highest types of clouds and are usually thin enough to see stars through.
Cirrus clouds
may form from moisture released above
storm clouds
and so may herald the arrival of a significant
change in weather.
Conversely,
cirrus clouds have also been seen on
Mars,
Jupiter,
Saturn,
Titan,
Uranus,
and Neptune.
The featured image was taken two days ago from a window in
District 15,
Paris,
France,
Earth.
The brightly lit
object on the lower right is, of course, the
Eiffel Tower.
