A glance into the cosmic universe: Quasar APM 08279+5255’s massive water cloud APM 08279+5255 is not a typical quasar. A supermassive black hole which lies at its center weighs 20 billion suns, thus ...

The cloud-like formations seen in the video are exhaust trails containing water vapor and tiny ice particles. That ice then reflects sunlight and creates a glow that many reported seeing Friday ...

As the hot air ascends, it cools and condenses the water vapor it carries, forming a cumulus cloud. If the fire is intense enough, the updraft becomes even stronger, pushing the cloud higher and ...
