Description
Cloud cascade, vertical.
A peculiar evolution of a cirrus cloud produced this effect of a waterfall in mid air. The whole structure appeared and vanished in a matter of minutes. Another example of Nature's ephemeral artistry.
Cirrus fibratus is a type of cirrus cloud, a genus of atmospheric cloud generally characterized by thin, wispy strands,that forms at high altitudes. The filaments in Cirrus Fibratus are usually separate from one another.
Cirrus clouds form on other planets, including Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and possibly Neptune. They have even been seen on Titan, one of Saturn's moons. Some of these extraterrestrial cirrus clouds are composed of ammonia or methane ice rather than water ice. The term cirrus is also used for certain interstellar clouds composed of sub-micrometer-sized dust grains.
