This is a pretty amazing shot of lightning in slow motion. A few fun facts for your enjoyment:
-
How big around is a typical lightning bolt? Answer: About the size of a Quarter to Half-Dollar! Lightning looks so much wider than it really is just because its light is so bright!
-
The temperature of a typical lightning bolt is hotter than the surface of the Sun!
-
Each second there are 50 to 100 Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Strikes to the Earth world-wide.
Not quite as beautiful. Actually more scary. The “finger of God” reaches out and touches this 747.
