It's always a pleasure Badnick... 'spark of life' - you know how much I love puns; even better when they mean more in the cntext of relevant scientifics.

I never remember anything (on time).
Ever wondered what lightning strikes really looked like? Tom Warner recently captured some incredible footage in Rapid City, South Dakota. He captured over 9,000 images per second and this 1.5 minute video lasts only 2 seconds in real time! (date and time of the storm are stamped within the video. Location: above) [technabob.]

 TOTALLY UNEXPECTED Photo by: idzrvit author's comments: Well I started my night at Leavenworth, Kansas around 830pm. The clouds were incredible! I had to shoot them with a higher iso and only a couple second shutter so they would not blur. I stopped at four other spots, staying ahead of the storm the whole time. My last stop was here in Lenexa. I thought it would be cool if I got a strike with this excavator. The strikes were few and far between but I decided to go for it anyway. Then out of nowhere comes this strike! The only one I took from this spot! See the shorter strike in the middle from the cloud to ground? THAT is what I was shooting for! That height! {Shot with a Nikon d90 on Tuesday September 21, 2010 in Lenexa, KS.}

 Photograph by Minami-Nippon Shibun/Reuters A “tentacle” of lightning stretches over Japan in a long-exposure picture taken Thursday (Jan. 27, 2011) of the ash plume rising from Shinmoedake peak, one of the calderas of the Kirishima volcano complex. Shinmoedake began erupting Wednesday, coating nearby villages and farms with ash and prompting authorities to ask for voluntary evacuations within a 1.2-mile (2-kilometer) radius. + bonus(es) [* -]  -- courtesy of Nat'l Geo

 Lightning Chaos by Fringe Focus author's comments: (Rob Loukotka) Crazy storm in Chicago, not too much rain, but tons of intense lightning. This was shot with a tripod, with 4-5 second exposures. For every 20 shots of empty sky, there'd be one with kickass lightning. Color was changed in post to feel more like Batman. {photo was taken on May 31, 2010.}

Endeavor marks NASA’s penultimate shuttle mission; once Atlantis returns in June, the 30-year-old program will sadly come to a close. {Launch is targeted for Friday, April 29 at 3:47 p.m. EDT.

 Beside the lake of my soul, I stand Watching… Waiting… Anticipating… The wind cuts and rain slashes, Lightning blinds and thunder crashes. Dark is the night, with a soft red glow, Until jagged lines of light, make clouds a rainbow. Raindrops fall from the sky like knives, Tearing flesh and exposing lies. The wind cries for those without tears, Lamenting the lost fountain of years. By the lake of my soul, I stand in fright, But my spirit sours with the beauty of the night. We scream in silence dreading the end. Watching… Waiting… Anticipating… {This photo was taken on August 9, 2010 in Idaho, USA (just outside of Boise). Photo by: Dylan MacMaster.}
