In
\n the past, the Dowbrigade News has been accused of having it’s journalistic
\n mind in the gutter, and of being obsessed with female anatomy. To
\n demonstrate our well-rounded interest in other topics, completely non-sexual,
\n like astronomy, let me exhibit the following photos.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n grew up wanting to be astronauts, NASA’s spectacular photographs
\n are
\n as
\n close
\n as we
\n will
\n ever get. However,
\n how nice to be able to surf over to the NASA site Earth
\n Observatory News,<\/a> and peruse the latest satellite snapshots.
\n In addition to being exciting science, these photographs are works
\n of art in and of themselves. It’s
\n kind of like lying on your back on a summer day and imagining things
\n in the
\n clouds. Do you see an elephant? A basketball eating a banana? Take
\n these recent photos of Tropical Storm Monty as it raged over the coast
\n of Africa,
\n for example….<\/em><\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/cyber.law.harvard.edu\/blogs\/static\/dowbrigade\/duststorm2.jpg\")
A wall
\n of Saharan
\n Desert dust that was captured in an image from March 3, 2004,
\n had billowed
\n out
\n over
\n the
\n Atlantic
\n and
\n begun
\n to spread northward by the next day. The leading edge of the dust storm
\n in several places was advancing at speeds of up to 50 km per hour.
\n The above image of the massive plume of dust was captured by the Moderate
\n Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), aboard NASA’s Terra satellite
\n on March 4, 2004. <\/p>\n
