The Spectacular Phenomenon Of A Lightning Tornado. Yes, It Is Above An Erupting Volcano
Sponge Blob 2 years ago
Because it doesn't. It's not a tornado, but ash plume. Ash makes a lot of friction and causes very strong static charge that discharges as lightning. This is long exposure photography of said plume with many lightnings registered. These lightnings didn't happen all at the same time. Hope it's understandable, I'm not native English user :)

Weeelll.. Not to ruin the experience for anyone but this was taken using timelapse technique. These are many many lightning strikes from different times on the same photo, over a few hours. Not that it makes it less of a spectacular photograph, but it doesn't look nowhere near as dramatic in real life.

Whoever created that planet - I want their creativity. And/or their drugs.
Consider this: In our Milky Way alone, we estimate around 100 billion stars, and across the Universe, there are at least 140 billion galaxies. If galaxies were frozen peas, there would be enough to fill an auditorium the size of the Royal Albert Hall.
Now, let's ponder this cosmic question: How did this unimaginably colossal Universe come into existence?
The universe began with the Big Bang, a massive space explosion. From hot, dense conditions, space expanded, cooled down, and created basic elements. Gravity gathered matter, forming the first stars and galaxies. These galaxies grouped into clusters, and some stars exploded, seeding new ones and letting rocky planets form.

Not the entire truth. It is one of the most detailed photos of Saturn BUT using those specific wavelengths of light. This is not what Saturn looks like to the naked eye, as the camera that took this captured bands of light we cannot see and converted it into the visible spectrum. To the naked eye, Saturn is a little less colorful and much more smooth and soft looking.

Statistically they are out there but it is one more point of uniqueness for our lovely planet. The leading theory for how the moon was formed is cool.

It also explains the Earth's oversize (by ratio) iron core and the difference between the near and far side of the moon.

This is another one with a misleading title. This is not "clear" to human eyes at all, but uses a wider spectrum of light to peak into Venus' thick atmosphere. It's like an X-ray scan, for planets.
Space is eerily silent because sound requires a medium, like air, to travel through, and space is mostly a vacuum devoid of air. However, astronauts have a lifesaver – they communicate using radios, as radio waves can still transmit through the vacuum of space. Phew, indeed!

The moon has gravity. It's 16% of Earth's gravity, but it's there. Everything has some gravity as a factor of their mass. Also, while I am here pontificating about physics, orbiting crafts have no gravity not because gravity is absent, but because in order to be in orbit they are falling to earth at the same rate as the Earth curves, never actually landing. If one could build a skyscraper as tall as low earth orbit, someone in the top floor would experience only a bit less gravity than on the ground. It's the craft's speed that annuls gravity onboard.

Even without light pollution you wouldn't see the bottom image, that is a long exposure with a powerful telescope and may even be in orbit. Our atmosphere blocks a great deal of light and the moon's light drastically affects our sky view.

There are only about 1000 naked eye visible stars visible on any night, even when the viewing conditions are perfect.
Cosmologist interntobe (he/him 2 years ago
This is why the Börtle scale was invented. The scale was created by amateur astronomer John Börtle. The highest number, 9 is the highest light pollution. Börtle 1 is the best with nearly 0% light pollution. Las Vegas is the worst. Who knew gambling could be so bad to the environment. Look at the street lights. If they are not protected, they are very bad. As an ameuter astronomer, please turn off unnecessary lights. They can be a hazard to bugs and insects (looking at u Vegas), and can also cause problems with your internal clock.

Black is a colour, a colour that absorbs all light. Space is not black, it's full of light, with nothing to absorb light. Sky is blue when light hits it, because the air reflects blue light.

Bottom view is a bit much for the naked eye but I've seen a version of it when camping in a desert like area on summer night. I think it was in Montana. Pretty deserted campground and I didn't make a fire - was traveling and needed a place to sleep for a few hours. But the sky was so amazing I laid on my back on the wooden picnic table and just stared at it for a while before going to sleep in my van. EDIT to say the campgrounds was 2 miles or more from the freeway and there were zero street lights or other campers so it was super dark.

“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-three million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea... This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy. And so the problem remained; lots of people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

An aerial photograph showed that the reservoir is shaped like a blue dragon, a symbol of power, strength and good luck in Chinese culture, as well as being an emblem that was traditionally used by the emperors throughout history. This fact has attracted the attention of many visitors, who started to refer to it as the "River of the Blue Dragon". Source: https://www.visitportugal.com/en/content/barragem-de-odeleite
