Scientists are peering into the clouds near the top of the world, trying to solve a mystery and learn something new about global warming.
A "string of pearls" is draped around Saturn's northern hemisphere. The "pearls" are gaps in the clouds, which may be the result of regularly spaced downdrafts. The clouds themselves appear dark in this image (Image: NASA/JPL/University of Arizona)
Some of the coldest temperatures on Earth brought a rare cloud formation to the skies over Antarctica, scientists said Tuesday.
Fight Over Global Warming Heats Up - WSJ.comTwo years ago, a United Nations scientific panel won the Nobel Peace Prize after concluding that global warming is "unequivocal" and is "very likely" caused by man. Then came a development unforeseen by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC: Data suggeste …
Weather Phenomenon Could Stall Rocket Launch -The first scheduled test launch of the $445 million Ares 1-X rocket is set for Tuesday morning, but there's still a chance bad weather could prevent the liftoff, including a chance that clouds could cause an unusual phenomenon that would leave the rocket uncontrollable.
'UFO cloud formation' filmed in Romania A flying saucer-shaped cloud has been spotted in the skies above Romania – just weeks after a similarly striking formation appeared over Moscow.
Acidic Clouds Nourish World's OceansScientists at the University of Leeds have proved that acid in the atmosphere breaks down large particles of iron found in dust into small and extremely soluble iron nanoparticles, which are more readily used by plankton.
NASA to create cloudsI wonder what the after effects of unnaturally made clouds will be... especially so high in the atmosphere.

I've been trying to get a little more active of late by walking around the neighborhood. Seems as though there is always something to capture in a photo everywhere I go.
Do Clouds Come From Outer Space?Most of Earth's clouds get their start in deep space. That's the surprising conclusion from a team of researchers who argue that interstellar cosmic rays collide with water molecules in our atmosphere to form overcast skies.
In a Warming World, Cloudy Days Are a BoonAnother potential feedback for climate change: low-level clouds, which reflect heat back into to the atmosphere, may be thinning due to climate change.
Mysterious, Glowing Clouds Appear Across America's Night Skies (pics and video)Mysterious, glowing clouds previously seen almost exclusively in Earth's polar regions have appeared in the skies over the United States and Europe over the past several days.

Stunning pictures of 'hole in the clouds' as astronauts witness volcano eruption from the International Space StationA chance recording by astronauts on the International Space Station has captured the moment a volcano explosively erupted, sending massive shockwaves through the atmosphere.
Grey-sky thinking: Ten extraordinary photos of cloud formations Clouds turn the sky into a big art gallery, complete with icy jellyfish and clouds that look like breaking waves. Two new books explore the varieties, and our gallery illustrates some of the most intriguing types
A recent passing electrical storm, nearly isolated in a clear dark sky, offered me the chance to capture a range of cool colors, with subtle and sensuous tones, and contrast them against the brilliance of the lightning strokes.
