Lightning strike at night, near Tucson, USA
Lightning. Night-time view of a bolt of lightning striking the ground. Lightning occurs when a large, electrical charge builds up in a cloud. This is probably due to the rapid movement of water droplets and ice particles within the cloud. Large thunderclouds generally have very turbulent interiors. The charge induces an opposite charge on the ground, and a few " leader electrons" travel to the ground. When one makes contact, there is a huge backflow of energy up the path of the electron. This produces a bright flash of light and temperatures of up to 30, 000 degrees celsius. Photographed near Tucson, Arizona, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the raw power and beauty of a lightning strike at night, near Tucson, USA. The image showcases a bolt of lightning illuminating the dark sky as it strikes the ground with an intense burst of energy. Lightning is formed when a large electrical charge builds up in a cloud, often caused by the rapid movement of water droplets and ice particles within it. The turbulent interiors of large thunderclouds create an opposite charge on the ground, attracting "leader electrons" that travel towards it. When one finally makes contact, an immense backflow of energy surges through its path, resulting in a brilliant flash of light and temperatures reaching up to 30,000 degrees Celsius. Photographed near Tucson, Arizona, this mesmerizing display exemplifies nature's incredible forces at work. It serves as a reminder of how climate and weather patterns can generate awe-inspiring phenomena like electrical storms. This photograph offers us a glimpse into meteorology's intricate workings while showcasing Arizona's unique atmospheric conditions. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable image that encapsulates both scientific curiosity and artistic appreciation for our natural world. As we admire this stunning visual spectacle captured on film without any commercial intent or affiliation mentioned here, let us marvel at nature's ability to create such breathtaking moments that leave us humbled by its grandeur.
