Title: Clouds near New Zealand photographed from Skylab space station
Description:
A group of clouds near New Zealand, as photographed from the Skylab space
station in Earth orbit by one of the Skylab 4 cremen. This picture shows
how low sun angles enhance relief, giving these clouds a three-dimensional
appearance. This photograph can be used to study the line of storms seen
here at sunset. Relative heights of individual cells can be measured, as
well as their relation to the surrounding clouds.
