I dont want to get all nerd up in here, but theres actually a really cool explanation for that happening. When the wind is forced to curve around the mountain it speeds up due to the whole bernoulli's principle thing, which causes the pressure to drop. The lower pressure air is "more saturated" which can cause some of the humidity in it to condense out in the form of clouds. Note that Im not 100% sure of this explanation but based on experience with a similar phenomenon, Im taking my best, educated guess. |

This sponge-like strange looking object is Hyperion, a 220 mile long moon of Saturn photgraphed by the Cassini probe on a flyby 5 days ago. The irregular shape of Hyperion and evidence of bombardment by meteors makes it appear to be the oldest surface in the Saturn system. More info here.

Without any photoshoppery by an "artist's imagination"? Holy amazing cosmos, Batman! |
