From my personal experience of loss as well as from my work as a counselor, my hope for women who've suffered through miscarriage, infertility, or other
forms of loss is that we will see our stories accurately rather than through a
cloud by condemnation.
Further, the Jewish apocalyptic texts would then have had to lose all trace of this
form of the conception, for in no other such text does the Son of man «come with the
clouds», except for this one instance preserved
by Christians, and, finally, the Christian tradition would have had to be indebted to this one Jewish saying for the features most characteristic of the specifically Christian expectation.

These molecules initially comprise just a small fraction of the gas, but they can absorb heat from the surrounding gas and get rid of it
by emitting light, thereby cooling the
cloud enough for stars to
form.
Infrared radiation passes through interstellar dust much more easily than visible light, so
by looking at the infrared light from a galaxy we can learn about the new stars
forming within the
clouds of dust and gas.
The tracks visible in these
clouds off the coasts of France and Spain
form when small, airborne sulfate particles emitted
by ships and airplanes act as
cloud condensation nuclei, or «seeds.»
By observing many background stars spread across the sky, astronomers can map ices within the
cloud's entire expanse and locate where different ices
form.
That's at least 100 times larger than the nanodiamonds that
form when planetary objects collide, and it's far larger than diamonds that
form by condensing from carbon vapor inside
clouds of interplanetary gas and dust.
Mathematical models, combined with our understanding of how planets and comets
form, suggest that the objects in the Oort
cloud must have been flung there
by one of the giant planets closer to the sun.
Planetary nebulae, which got their name after being misidentified
by early astronomers, are
formed when an ageing star weighing up to eight times the mass of the sun ejects its outer layers as
clouds of luminous gas (see Why stars go out in a blaze of glory).
But it left an open question: Were airborne microbes
forming ice in the
clouds, or were they merely getting mopped up
by snowflakes as they fell to Earth?
Moons are generally thought to
form in one of two ways — either
by coalescing from the same
cloud of debris as their parent planet, or as wandering objects captured
by the parent's gravitational pull.
Although the ions are originally involved in the development of almost one third of all newly
formed particles, the concentration of the large
cloud condensation nuclei in the course of the 11 - year cycle changes
by only 0.1 percent — not enough to have any sizeable influence on the climate.
The team that made this discovery, led
by Yale University astronomer Tabetha Boyajian — the star's namesake — suggested a variety of explanations for its strange behavior, including that the star itself was variable, that it was surrounded
by clouds of dust or dusty comets, or that planets around it had collided or were still
forming.
The difference in lightning activity can't be explained
by changes in the weather, according to the study's authors, who conclude that aerosol particles emitted in ship exhaust are changing how storm
clouds form over the ocean.
The Large Magellanic
Cloud is encircled
by bright young stars that are likely to have
formed after another galaxy powered past, compressing gas

clouds backlit
by J1717 - 337 and NRAO530 show chemical composition similar to the gas in active star
forming regions, indicating that the diffuse gas is bathed in strong ultraviolet light.
I remember being fascinated
by clouds when I was young, but I never suspected that I would one day be working on these problems, trying to solve the puzzle of how
clouds are actually
formed.
At roughly 3000 °C, it lacks a surface but has an outer edge marked
by clouds of molten rock that
form silica raindrops.
Now images taken
by the Hubble Space Telescope have revealed a large
cloud of hydrogen and oxygen — most likely in the
form of water vapour — extending from the moon's south pole.
The newly minted francium is captured in the glass chamber shown here, where it is surrounded
by a magnetic field and cooled
by lasers until it condenses to
form a
cloud less than a tenth of an inch in diameter.
Nevertheless, those modest - size black holes left a big mark
by performing a
form of stellar birth control: Radiation from the trickle of material falling into the holes heated surrounding
clouds of gas to about 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, so hot that the gas could no longer easily coalesce.
The nebula was created
by the star, which is losing part of its mass out into the surrounding space,
forming a
cloud of gas and dust as the material cools.
Scientists figured out more than a decade ago how to make this specialized
form of light through a process known as «high harmonic generation,» or HHG, which shifts laser light to much shorter wavelengths and shorter pulses
by shining it through a
cloud of gas.
The science team, led
by chemist Brett McGuire at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Charlottesville, Virginia, detected this molecule's telltale radio signature coming from a nearby star -
forming nebula known as the Taurus Molecular
Cloud 1 (TCM - 1), which is about 430 light - years from Earth.
Aoki says the star likely
formed from a gas
cloud enriched
by a pair - instability explosion, which is 10 to 100 times more violent than an ordinary supernova.
Any
clouds that
form scatter laser light; this scattering is then detected and recorded
by computers, which display the results — the size, number, and composition of
cloud particles — for scientists outside the chamber.
By analyzing this data over the following six months, the researchers found that
clouds that grew at the lowest temperatures required extremely high relative humidity in order for water vapor to
form an ice crystal around a dust particle.
The lead surrounding the stars — which was part of the original
cloud of gas and dust from which these stars
formed, not generated
by reactions in the evolving stars themselves — may be dispersed within an atmospheric layer as much as 100 kilometers thick (depicted patchily in pink) that altogether weighs up to 100 billion metric tons.
Although this looks like a single nebula, NSF's Gemini South Observatory revealed it is actually two separate gas and dust
clouds formed by different types of supernova explosions.
Now, a new, computer simulation — based study suggests that these giants were
formed and fed
by massive
clouds of gas sloshing around in the aftermath of the big bang.
And because the first dust
clouds would have
formed with the star nearly 100 million years ago, Chen and Jura argue that «this disk must be continually replenished
by asteroid collisions.»
Now a team led
by Fabio Pacucci at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy, thinks it has found two examples of the latter: baby black holes that
formed directly from a collapsing gas
cloud without becoming a star first.
The acknowledged role of sunspots and cosmic rays in
forming clouds has been fertile ground for climate deniers, who have cast doubt on whether anthropogenic climate change (in other words, change caused
by humans) is occurring at all.
A new star is
formed by gravitational contraction of an interstellar molecular
cloud consisting of gas and dust.
And they wanted to test their theory on the
clouds that do
form in this region — warm convective
clouds that are fuelled
by the ocean's moisture.
The ice was
formed by the precipitation that fell as snow from the
clouds and remained year after year, gradually being compressed into ice.
Observations show when water vapour is taken up
by the atmosphere through evaporation, the updraughts can either rise to 15 km to
form clouds that produce heavy rains or rise just a few kilometres before returning to the surface without
forming rain
clouds.
A new generation of sensitive, high - resolution telescopes will help resolve the debate
by probing both dust
clouds and the protoplanetary disks from which asteroids, comets, and planets
form.
These accelerators work
by shooting pulses of intense laser light into plasma to create a wave rippling through the
cloud of ionised gas, leaving a wake of electrons akin to those that
form behind a speedboat in water.
Cold fronts carried
by this airstream then interact with warm tropical air and
form cloud banks over northwestern Australia, which travel across the country towards the southeast bringing winter rain.
Every Kuiper belt object and Oort
cloud entity is a geologic fossil, preserved at low temperatures, largely unaltered
by time, and made up of the material from which the solar system
formed 4.5 billion years ago.
The hue may be
formed by radiation from space splitting molecules in the planet's
clouds, which then combine to
form red compounds.
Dense pockets of material in these
clouds collapse under their own gravity and grow
by accumulating more and more star -
