(±0.2 Billion Years.)

Hello and welcome to my blog about my life (science) and whatever else takes my fancy (hint: it's more science). You may call me Redford and I'm 19 Earth years old, currently double majoring in physics and chemistry in New Zealand. In reality I have no idea what I'm doing or what I'm going to do though so you'll find a little bit of everything.

This rainbow aura is caused by a type of cloud called a pileus cloud (more commonly known as a cap cloud) which forms on top of rising cumulus clouds. Usually these colours are produced but drowned out by sunlight, in this picture shot in Ethiopia however the darker cloud is allowing the rainbow to shine through.(Image: Esther Havens) — This rainbow aura is caused by a type of cloud called a pileus cloud (more commonly known as a cap cloud) which forms on top of rising cumulus clouds.
