Also, please note that the Discuss link points to the APOD of March 28. x2. The clouds and thunderstorms could be behind (below) that line of hills. ? Yes, that's what Mr. Beletsky describes on his instagram page, where this image was first posted - in January of 2020 , as user Johanos pointed out....

Re: APOD: Wisps Surrounding the Horsehead Nebula (2019 Apr 03)
Gorgeous image!
Why does it appear like there is a 'bubble' around Alnilam..? Is it possibly a 'side effect' of processing? Or perhaps it's noticeable in other images of that star?

Re: APOD: Supernumerary Rainbows over New Jersey (2018 Oct 02)
This is a fabulous image!
I've seen what I thought were three 'rainbows in a row' before, but then figured my eyes must be playing tricks on me. Very happy to see it has a name, and that it is an actual thing! So cool!!

Re: APOD: Moon Setting Behind Teide Volcano (2018 Jun 04)
This is a really great video!
I have a question: in several places, it looks as though there is smoke coming from the top of the mountain. Are the people up there burning bonfire(-type) things? Or is the smoke coming from the volcano itself?

Re: APOD: Meteors, Planes, and a Galaxy over... (2018 May 06)
Where are the planes? Ann Hi Ann, they are very tiny, short straight lines, and very near the horizon. I had to look at the enlarged image to find them, and even then it took a few minutes. I agree that the three short streaks near the horizon are airplanes. However, I think there is just one meteo...
