Clear Sky Charts (called clocks until February 29, 2008) are web graphics which deliver weather forecasts designed specifically for astronomers.They forecast the cloud cover, transparency and astronomical seeing, parameters which are not forecast by civil or aviation forecasts. [1]
He estimates the presence of cloud cover at 60 to 70%, with mid- to high-level clouds around that may obscure our view of the moon crossing over the sun between 2 and 4:30 p.m.
An early cloudscape photographer, Belgian photographer Léonard Misonne (1870–1943), was noted for his black and white photographs of heavy skies and dark clouds.

On a sunny day, Rayleigh scattering gives the sky a blue gradient, darkest around the zenith and brightest near the horizon. Light rays coming from the zenith take the shortest-possible path ( 1 ⁄ 38 ) through the air mass , yielding less scattering.

CMEs generate plasma shock waves in space, similar to the sonic boom caused by aircraft flying faster than the speed of sound in Earth's atmosphere. The solar wind 's equivalent of a sonic boom in the solar-system plasma medium can accelerate protons up to millions of miles per minute – as much as 40 percent of the speed of light.
