Science Art: Von Karman Vortices
Entered By: grantb on October 25, 2009
No Observations
Landsat 7 gave us this memorable look at clouds moving rapidly over the Aleutian Islands. These whorls happen, as any canoeist knows, when a fluid moves around an object.
Hypnotic, even when the moment is frozen in time.
Found at the USGS Earth Resources and Observation Science (EROS) “Earth As Art 2″ gallery.
