Cumulonimbus Clouds after a Thunderstorm

This photo was taken near the Engineering Center, in parking lot 436, facing east, around (40, -105.26).

In the image, several different cloud types can be observed. The lower-left region likely shows Cumulonimbus clouds, while the upper part has Mammatus clouds, which are characteristic features beneath a thick Cumulonimbus anvil layer. In the upper-right and middle parts, there are Stratus or Altostratus clouds that may be the outer, spreading portions of the cumulonimbus system.These clouds indicate an unstable atmosphere, where strong vertical motion, moisture gradients, and turbulence occur due to convective activity.

A long exposure captures both colored lights reflected in the surface of a soap bubble filled with fog in CO2 and the fog after the bubble pops.

Bubbles of CO2 formed by dry ice sublimating beneath a layer of dyed oobleck tend to pop on their sides.

Bubbles of CO2 formed by dry ice sublimating beneath a layer of dyed oobleck tend to tear on their sides, and sometimes flap as more gas enters and escapes.

Bubbles of CO2 formed by dry ice sublimating beneath a layer of dyed oobleck created patterns as each bubble brought up fresh oobleck.
