Lightning strikes at night, near Tucson, USA
Lightning. Night-time view of multiple bolts 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 awe-inspiring power of nature as lightning strikes at night near Tucson, USA. The image showcases multiple bolts of lightning illuminating the dark sky and striking the ground with intense force. Lightning occurs when a cloud accumulates a significant electrical charge, often caused by the rapid movement of water droplets and ice particles within it. Thunderclouds, like the one depicted here, have turbulent interiors that facilitate this process. As the cloud's charge induces an opposite charge on the ground, "leader electrons" make their way towards it. When one electron makes contact with the earth's surface, an immense surge of energy travels back up its path. This phenomenon results in a brilliant flash of light and temperatures reaching up to a staggering 30,000 degrees Celsius. Photographed in Tucson, Arizona, USA - known for its dramatic weather patterns - this image serves as a reminder of both nature's beauty and its raw power. It offers us a glimpse into meteorology and our understanding of storms while showcasing Arizona's unique climate. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this momentous event without mentioning any commercial use; instead allowing us to appreciate Mother Nature's spectacular display through their lens.
