After Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted in 1991, the massive plume of ash it sent into the sky cooled global surface temperatures by about 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) for a year.
The night sky cooling system is a potential solution to the water issues that face CSP power plants and other power plants located in desert environments.
If the night sky cooling system is the same size as the solar collector field, annual simulation shows that the system can provide over 90% of the required cooling.
The washed out sky cooled to hues of the brightest blue, spackled with cotton-candy clouds, white as snow atop the peaks of the Andes, and highlighted by the blushing sun calling close only to the day, as life was just beginning.

Settling in at chilly Camden Yards for game one of the A.L.D.S. Grey skies, cool temperatures, but so far the rain has held off.
Blue skies, cool weather, and great startups.
The eruption darkened the skies, cooled the globe by 10˚C for half a decade, and redirected the course of human evolution.
Three all-sky cooled-CCD cameras designed for mid-latitude nightglow measurements were developed at the Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory and calibrated using a 2-m integrating-sphere and a spectrometer at the National Institute of Polar Research, Japan.
Muddy alizarin crimson; a Wedgewood sky; smooth, cool rocks punctuated with dashes of hot reds, and surrounded by course meadow grass -- a moody work that shows all the frustrations and the magic of painting in the outdoors.
