Lightning strike at night in Tucson, Arizona, USA
Lightning. Night-time view of a bolt of lightning striking the ground in a city with the moon in the sky. 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 in Tucson, Arizona, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the raw power and beauty of nature's fury in Tucson, Arizona. Against a dark night sky illuminated by the glowing moon, a bolt of lightning strikes the ground with an electrifying force. The mesmerizing display showcases the incredible phenomenon that occurs when a large electrical charge builds up within a cloud. The turbulent interiors of massive thunderclouds create the perfect conditions for this awe-inspiring event to unfold. As water droplets and ice particles rapidly move within the cloud, they generate an opposite charge on the ground below. A few brave "leader electrons" embark on a journey towards the earth, carrying immense energy along their path. When one of these courageous electrons finally makes contact with the ground, it triggers an extraordinary backflow of energy that results in a brilliant flash of light and temperatures soaring up to 30,000 degrees Celsius. This remarkable occurrence is beautifully captured in this photograph from Tucson. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of both nature's destructive potential and its breathtaking splendor. It serves as a testament to our planet's ever-changing climate and weather patterns while also highlighting mankind's vulnerability amidst such powerful forces. Science Photo Library has expertly immortalized this moment for us to marvel at and appreciate nature's astonishing displays without commercial intent or purpose other than pure admiration for science itself.
