Today we would like
to provide our viewers a photograph shot by an ISS astronaut of a
massive cloud tower. This massive vertical cloud formation, known
specifically as cumulus castellanus, was seen above Andros Island. These
types of clouds typically form due to strong vertical air movement
normally associated with thunderstorms.
