Every once in a while, nature gives us samples of some amazing pictures; may they be landscapes, space pictures or microscopic pictures, it’s only fair that these pictures receive the attention they deserve. Such a fantastic display of natural forces was displayed in Chile, by volcano eruption and lightning storm.
Still, it’s not quite your average lightning storm. Still, probably the “headlight” is held by the volcano eruption. This latest eruption accured in southern Chile caused the storm. Here’spictures of it seen from the village and from outer space.
The volcano named Chaiten Volcano created an impressive amount of ash and other eruption materials despite the fact that it hadn’t erupted in thousands of years. The show continued with a huge column of ash which ionised and caused the light storm earlier mentioned.
Still, as beautiful and impressive as this may be, it has to be kept in mind that this eruption has a tremendous impact on the population and environment. Thanks yousaytoo for the pics.
Andrei is no scientist, but from an early age, he has been fascinated by science; that's why he went to college, and signed up for Geophysics. Feeling that there's a huge gap between science and average people, he rallied TP, started ZME Science, and gave it a green twist too.
