Wow...it's gotta be mind blowing seeing that in real life. The ones above Africa are awesome....and that shot of the "wake" of clouds from the volcano in Mexico are really cool.

I did a search for higher resolution pictures and I couldn’t find any. Not even on NASA’s site. If you click on the picture in the link it seems a little bigger, but not by that much.

Whoa!

I don’t know what the resolution is, but I found a much larger picture of “Cumulonimbus Cloud over Africa”

Da Linky Is Here.

Through a click here and a click there, I wound up at this page, the picture might not come up right away, you have to request it.

I might be able to find some of the others if anyone has any favorites they’d like for me to look for.

That 57meg tiff seems to be a pic of snowcapped mountains and clouds, also you can zoom in pretty good before you lose any picture quality.

I'm guessing that this is Daytona Beach, since there seems to be a racetrack located by an airport.

OK I'll bring the rocks back. It's not like i've been brewing special beer with them. They are a national monument.

P.S. I hear they are recruting canamees.

Should i Submit a report?, could i help speed up folding of proteins in space?

Could I help others speed up folding proteins in space, while in space?

Should I, Could I, find long distance wet ear "GOMD"?
