The sky on
your birthday.
A Sonic Boom
As an airplane accelerates to break the sound barrier, an unusual cloud can form, creating what appears to be a sonic boom. This phenomenon is still debated, but a leading theory suggests it's caused by a drop in air pressure. The image captures the moment of this mysterious atmospheric event.
