KVAL-TV Reporter/Fill-In Anchor Chris Liedle took this amazing photo of a storm cloud and rainbow last week in Eugene, Oregon. Chris said he took the shot whilst hiking Spencer Butte, a prominent landmark in Lane County, Oregon, on the southern edge of Eugene, with an elevation of 2,058 feet (627 m).

Spencer Butte is accessible from Spencer Butte Park and has several hiking trails to the summit. The tree cover on the butte is predominantly Douglas-fir, however the butte is treeless at its summit. The butte is the tallest point visible when looking south from downtown Eugene.

The photo itself was tweeted in response to another ‘rainbow storm cloud’ that was spotted by Victor Gensini in Norfolk, Colorado.

In Staff Earth Observations (Chief Executive Officer), crewmembers on the International Area Station (ISS) photo the Earth from their distinct viewpoint located 200 miles (322 km) above the surface. Photos tape how the planet is changing with time, from human-caused changes like metropolitan development and storage tank building, to natural dynamic occasions such as cyclones, floods and volcanic eruptions.

A significant focus of Chief Executive Officer is to keep track of disaster response occasions in support of the International Disaster Charter (IDC). Chief Executive Officer images provides researchers on Earth with vital data to understand the planet from the point of view of the ISS. Crewmembers have been photographing Earth from space given that the very early Mercury objectives starting in 1961. The continuous images taken from the ISS guarantee this record continues to be unbroken. [source]

Exploration 39 was the 39th expedition to the International Space Station. It marked the first time the ISS had actually been under command of a Japanese astronaut, area veteran Koichi Wakata. After Exploration 21 in 2009 and Exploration 35 in 2013, it was just the 3rd time an ISS-crew has been led by a non-NASA or RSA team member.
