Thunderbolts and Lightning

Wallpaper Description:

In this electrifying space image, taken on Friday, June 7, 2013, a furious thunderstorm is discharging in mighty rage over Cerro Paranal. The colossal enclosures of the four VLT Unit Telescopes, each one the size of an 8-story building, are dwarfed under the hammering of the powerful storm. In the left of the image, a solitary star has emerged to witness the show--a single point of light against an obscured sky. This star is Procyon, a bright binary star in the constellation of Canis Minor (The Lesser Dog).
