they are usually seen at the base of cumulonimbus clouds (rain clouds).Mammatus clouds are a type of elongated cloud formation that hangs from the base of the cloud. These cysts are usually circular or oval in shape and can range in size from a few centimeters to several meters in diameter. Mammoth clouds usually form…
It is only 40 light years away from us. They were spotted in 2016 by the Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope (TRAPPIST) at the La Silla Observatory in Chile. This finding was later confirmed by telescopes including NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. All of the TRAPPIST-1 planets are rocky and Earth-like, making it the largest…
