    Time Lapse of A Supercell Thunderstorm Over Texas Awesome footage

    I cant embed the video here but here is the link. It's to Nasa's APOD http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130618.html


    A Supercell Thunderstorm Over Texas
    Video Credit & Copyright: Mike Oblinski; Music: Impact Lento (Kevin MacLeod, Incompetech) Explanation: Is that a cloud or an alien spaceship? It's an unusual and sometimes dangerous type of thunderstorm cloud called a supercell. Supercells may spawn damaging tornados, hail, downbursts of air, or drenching rain. Or they may just look impressive. A supercell harbors a mesocylone -- a rising column of air surrounded by drafts of falling air. Supercells could occur over many places on Earth but are particularly common in Tornado Alley of the USA. are four time lapse sequences of a supercell rotating above and moving across Booker, Texas. Captured in the video are new clouds forming near the storm center, dust swirling on the ground, lightning flashing in the upper clouds, all while the impressively sculptured complex rotates ominously. Finally, after a few hours, as shown in the final sequence, dense rain falls as the storm begins to die out.

    Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
    A morning filled with 400 billion suns
    The rising of the milky way"

    If we do not destroy ourselves
    We will one day venture to the stars" -Carl Sagan

    Weird how something can carry so much potential for destruction and be so beautiful at the same time.
