A SPIDER STRIKES WHITE, foamy clouds stretched for miles in either direction.

Behind the explosions, what looked like a dark cloud stretched into a wider and wider band, forming a very wide but thin ring around the equator, high above Venus's natural cloud cover.

Gray, roiling clouds stretched from horizon to horizon; a slow drizzle began to fall.
