About a century later, Edmund Halley proposed that the distance from the Earth to the Sun (which was then unknown and is defined as one astronomical unit, AU) could be measured by observing transits of Venus across the Sun. These transits occur in pairs separated by eight years at intervals...
Altostratus clouds yield very light precipitation. Altocumulus are dense, fluffy white or grey balls or masses. When closely bunched together, they appear like fish scales across the sky: this effect is called a mackerel sky. Cumulonimbus clouds. (Reproduced by permission of Walter A. Lyons ...

MoonThe evolution of total cloud cover and cloud types is composited across the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) using CloudSat data for June 2006-May 2010. Two approaches are used to define MJO phases: 1) the local phase is determined at each longitude and time from filtered outgoing longwave...
