  • Pahoehoe lava, characterized by its smooth, rope-like appearance, is one of three types of lava. Pahoehoe's ropy surface forms when a thin skin of cool lava is shoved into folds by hot, more-fluid lava just below the surface. This sample was found in Craters of the Moon National Monument, Idaho. Pahoehoe is pronounced Pa-hoy-hoy.

  • This unusual "triple twist tree" growing out of a crack in a lava field at Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho helped scientists determine the age of the flow here. The tree has 1,350 rings, so scientists figure the flow here is about 2,000 years old. This flow is the youngest in Craters of the Moon National Monument.

  • Colorful crustose lichens grow on lava rock at Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho. Lichens are a symbiosis of a fungus and a green alga and/or cyanobacterium. Crustose are very slow growing, typically growing 1 millimeter or less per year.

  • Slightly more than half the moon is illuminated in this view of the night sky. Half moons are typically called quarters - first quarter and last quarter - and coincide with neap tides, the mildest tidal changes of the month. During neap tides, the difference between high tide and low tide is the least. The sun and moon are at right angles to Earth, weakening their combined gravitational pull.
