Over the Cuando River basin (upper right corner in this image) a cloud free line traces the course of a river.
This line reflects a zone of cooler air directly above the river where cloud development is suppressed—at least on days with little wind.

Echo, echo…
Hubble captured a “light echo” from the star V838 Mon. A sequence of images shows how a pulse of light from this star illuminated its surrounding clouds of material!
