                        A Retreating Thunderstorm at Sunset

      Explanation: What type of cloud is that? This retreating cumulonimbus   
      cloud, more commonly called a thundercloud, is somewhat unusual as it   
      contains the unusual bumpiness of a mammatus cloud on the near end,   
      while simultaneously producing falling rain on the far end. Taken in   
      mid-2013 in southern Alberta, Canada, the cloud is moving to the east,   
      into the distance, as the sun sets in the west, behind the camera. In   
      the featured image, graphic sunset colors cross the sky to give the   
      already photogenic cloud striking orange and pink hues. A darkening   
      blue sky covers the background. Further in the distance, a rising,   
      waxing, gibbous moon is visible on the far right.
