Las fotografías fueron tomadas el 8 de marzo desde el punto de mira del Observatorio WM Keck, que se encuentra cerca de la cima del inactivo ʋolcano Mauna Kea en Hawaii. Las fotografías trazan nubes lenticulares, que generalmente se crean a favor del viento de una colina o montaña cuando los vientos fuertes fluyen sobre y alrededor del terreno.

Las nubes lenticulares, científicamente conocidas como altocúmulos lenticulares permanentes, generalmente se forman en la troposfera, la capa más baja de la atmósfera de la Tierra, paralela a la dirección del viento, lo que les da su apariencia de otro mundo.

Estas nubes son bastante comunes en la mitad occidental del continente debido a las Montañas Rocosas, pero relativamente en Hawaii, según el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional.

Estas nubes de aspecto extraño a veces se confunden con OVNIs debido a su forma suave parecida a un platillo. Se formaron cerca de Mauna Loa y Mauna Kea, que alcanzan unos 13.000 pies (3.960 metros) de elevación, porque los vientos tropicales se ven obligados a fluir sobre y alrededor de los picos de los volcanes. Esto, a su vez, crea olas en la atmósfera justo a favor del viento de ambas cumbres.

Las fotografías fueron tomadas por empleados del oƄserʋatorio, entre ellos Rick Krejci, ingeniero de software; Sherry Yeh, astrónoma del personal; Aʋinash Surendran, becario postdoctoral; y Arina Rostopchina, asistente oficial.
