This is amazing. See how as soon as one of the feelers hits a ground source all the others are just lost, since the current now has an ionized path to ground? AWESOME.

Most of the places in the lightest color get drowned in snow every winter. 

Nobody is safe from weather.

Here’s your daily portion of weather wisdom!

There’s a lot going on in this picture of Guadelupe Island. The clouds surrounding the island are called stratocumuli, the chain of swirls is known as a Kármán vortex street, and, if you look closely, you’ll see a rainbow-like phenomenon called glory.

Live Wind Map Shows Flow Patterns

I get kind of giddy whenever I see a tweet from Martin Wattenberg and Fernanda Viegas. They rarely tweet, but when they do it’s usually because they’ve released a new project and they always announce it simultaneously. Their latest piece shows live wind patterns, based on data from the National Digital Forecast Database. It’s beautiful to look at.

Incredible.

“Did you know each month’s full moon has a name?

According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the Native Americans that resided in what is now the northern and eastern United States named the full moons to keep track of the seasons.

For example, the Harvest Moon is always the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox.

Tonight’s June full moon is known as the Strawberry Moon, because it appears near the time of the strawberry harvest.”
