In another brief occultation event the Moon snuck in front of Solar Dynamics Observatory’s cameras on Saturday, November 6, this time passing across the orbiting observatory’s
view of the Sun’s southern pole and southeastern limb in a diagonal motion.

This is a cool one I like:

Cumulonimbus Cloud Over Africa
High above the African continent, tall, dense cumulonimbus clouds, meaning 'column rain' in Latin, are the
result of atmospheric instability. The clouds can form alone, in clusters, or along a cold front in a squall line.
The high energy of these storms is associated with heavy precipitation, lightning, high wind speeds and tornadoes.
