Timelapse video of a cloud inversion in the Grand Canyon
Cloud inversions are cool and rare, but we had photos of one a couple years ago and now Harun Mehmedinovic has produced a stunning timelapse video of one—in the Grand Canyon!
This was created as part of the Skyglow Project, which seeks to demonstrate how much light pollution exists in the night skies of major cities. There's lots more at their website.
Also, Colossal has some still images from the video, in case you need new desktop backgrounds. This one is our favorite:
