The first time I saw it, I was sure it was a banded agate or something.
@Hathacat I am now looking for a piece of wood that would look like this, will be difficult.
@dalefvictor You would have better luck with a stone!
@Hathacat Actually I found one today, unfortunately it is going into a project, but I at least know there will be more.
Wow, who's the artist? just kiddin.

Actually a lot of images like this are false colour shots, which go through a complex process to give an impression of what the data looks like in the visible spectrum. So there is definitely an artist’s touch involved, it’s not an entirely silly question.
@Denker Yes, the false color is used to better bring out details and study the interactions of the clouds.

Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
