STS111-719-61 Manacouagan Reservoir, Quebec, Canada: Manacouagan Reservoir marks the site of an impact crater, 60 miles (100 km) wide, that was formed 212 million years when a meteorite crashed into this area. Over millions of years, the crater has been worn down by the many advancing and retreating glaciers and other erosional processes.

STS111-E-5035 (8 June 2002) One of the astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour noticed this interesting cloud pattern and captured it with a digital still camera. A low Sun illuminates and colors the cloud tops of a long arc of towering clouds associated with either a cold front or a squall line advancing from right to left.
