APOD 11

Located over the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Grenada, Spain a cloud cap formed due to the upward air force that cools and condences, becoming a cloud that capped around the peak of the mountain. It even forms lenticular cloud layers as the condenced water vapor encircles around the center of the air source. Its color is due to the reflecting beams the sun reflects during its sunset onto the condensating cloud. I chose this photo for a break between stars and constellations, also finding interest in how this cap cloud formed.

APOD 10

The globular cluster of M15 pictured above is part of the constellation Pegasus, commonly known as the Winged Horse. Continuously circuling the Milky Way, this globular cluster consists of over 100,000 stars and its 'Great Square' appearance easily visible in the night sky. Although I have covered M15 as an APOD in the past, I chose it again due to the amazing visual it represents here and its significance relative to the Milky Way Galaxy. Its varying colors of orange and blue stars that encompass the white glow in the center is incredibly eye appealing and adds to the amazingness of M15.
