Kitt Peak Nimbostratus

2022-07-22 By Roger Edwards

Kitt Peak Nimbostratus

A field of nimbostratus, fronting an oncoming cluster of thunderstorms, spread over the Kitt Peak telescope array, as seen from the desert floor about 4,000 feet below.  This created the sort of nice dark-sky/sunlit-land contrast I’ve long enjoyed watching and shooting.   These are just a few among over 20 optical and two radio telescopes at the Kitt Peak National Observatory, including the world’s largest solar telescope.  I am confident that the latter instrument was not in use at this moment.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
