Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In this image, the swirling clouds known as vortex streets appear along the left edge of the image, stretching southward from Isla Guadalupe. Southeast of the vortex street, a glory, which resembles a rainbow, hovers above the cloud cover. The glory is faint but large, 200 to 300 kilometres long, along a north-south orientation. In this glory, reds and oranges are most visible.
