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 Lordsburg, New Mexico, USA. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © KEITH KENT/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS

This print captures the mesmerizing power of lightning in New Mexico, USA. Illuminating the night sky with its awe-inspiring display, multiple bolts of lightning strike the ground, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Lightning occurs when an immense electrical charge builds up within a cloud, often caused by the rapid movement of water droplets and ice particles. The turbulent interiors of large thunderclouds serve as catalysts for this natural phenomenon. As the charge induces an opposite charge on the ground, a few "leader electrons" embark on their journey towards it. When one successfully makes contact with the earth's surface, an incredible surge of energy travels back along its path. In this momentous exchange, temperatures soar to staggering heights of up to 30,000 degrees Celsius while producing an intense flash of light that illuminates everything around it. The sheer force and beauty captured in this photograph near Lordsburg, New Mexico leave viewers in awe.
