Lightning storm over Cerro Paranal. Lightning discharging over the desert landscape of Cerro Paranal,2600 metres above sea level in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. On the ridge at centre right are the four VLT (Very Large Telescope) Unit Telescopes,each one the size of an eight-storey building. The site is operated by the European Southern Observatory. Clouds in this dry and arid location are a rare sight,and lightning is even rarer. Photographed on 7 June 2013 | |
