It appears to have been windy when this photo was taken. That would not be uncommon for this area.

But the truth is that they are poor battlefield weapons which require near-perfect wind conditions to work at all. They are in fact much more suited to assassination.

About the largest extent of a rainbow you could see from the earth. This shows about 200 degrees. I have fantasized about capturing the full circle from the air but lack the means to pull it off at the moment.

Unsure about ligers, but some female tygons (reverse parentage from ligers) have in fact been fertile.

The issue is related to argumentum ad verecundiam: an argument based on appeal to false or fraudulent authority. Famous example: it has been argued that megadoses of Vitamin C must be beneficial because they were recommended by Linus Pauling, a Nobel Laureate. But he was an inorganic chemist, not a nutritionist; and his prize had nothing to do with Vitamin C.

Pu-239 should be burned up for energy, not stored. Newer reactor designs try to do this. Cs-137 is a bit more of an issue.
