“Cloud Tsunami” Over Sydney

A bizarre meteorological event hit the coast of New South Wales, Australia over the weekend. Dubbed a “cloud tsunami” on Twitter, this massive wave in the sky measured several kilometers long and swept over the city of Sydney, bringing with it powerful thunderstorms, heavy rains, and forceful winds that required the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to issue a warning for the surrounding area.

The massive formation is actually called a shelf cloud, composed of arcus clouds. The shelf cloud is typically the leading edge of a thunderstorm, attached to the base of the parent cloud that contains the storm. The strange wave-like appearance is caused by the cool sinking air from the storm’s downdraft spreading out over the land, meeting the warm air being drawn into the storm’s updraft. (Source)

AS-202 S-IB/S-IVB Stage Separation.

The video is slowed down, in reality the time from the separation to the J-2 firing was under 4 seconds.

The S-IVB is the stage that put Apollo capsules on the lunar transfer orbit. Note that this is a Saturn IB upper stage, meaning this one never actually went to the moon, and only put the yet unmanned spacecraft on an suborbital trajectory.

The three small rockets are the ullage motors, small solid rockets used to create small acceleration, so the fuel settles own in the bottom of the tank and starts being fed into fuel pumps
