My reading on lightning tells me its a thinly charged column of air rapidly heated to three times the surface of the sun. This 'Astronomy Photo of the Day' from July 20th in the skies of Athens, Greece is one of the best this year. I'm sure this was a spectacle that would have made even the mighty Zeus flinch from his throne atop Mt. Olympus. I never cease to be astounded by nature and its power. To get a glimpse of that power like the above photo should give pause to anyone not humbled by that power.
