PhotographerKianLocationShiraz-IranDate14 April 2007 9:15pmEquipmentCanon powershot A95DescriptionDepicting thunders over Shiraz are frames which have been captured from a film I recorded 2 months ago on April the 14th. The mountain in all of the photos is Mount. Derak, located in the north west of the city. We had an unprecedented thunder storm in here that night, and I took the risk to go above the roof while many thunderbolts were hitting the ground someplace not much far from where I was, as it can be seen in the images. |

PhotographerAmir Hossein AbolfathLocationTehran, IranDate06/15/2007, 9:10EquipmentCanon Eos 20DDescriptionIt was 9:10 and I was looked up and see something strange, A cloud but was not exactly a cloud. It was shining blue and move fast. At that time there was no sunshine to bright that. So that was the shine of itself. After jast 20 min my friend, Asghar Kabiri was saw that 900 km away from Tehran in Sa'adat shahr. There is many reports from many other places of Iran like Semnan, Asalooye and etc. So, It was too high. that was shining like Comet McNaught and the brightest point was -3 Mag. Note: NASA confirmed the object was a rocket stage expelling its unspent fuel. |

PhotographerPatrick AgnewLocationLower Yosemite FallsDate5-29-07, 9:54 PMEquipmentFuji FinePix S5300. Exposure of 15 seconds at F4, 1600 ISODescriptionI did this after reading "Moonbows over Yosemite" (S&T, 5/07) My first attempt at doing such. There were about 100 people there. Conditions were perfect. The following night there was cloud cover. Due to the <50% snowpack, I don't expect there will be much water flow by June's full moon. |

PhotographerRobert HortonLocationNew MexicoDateNovember, 1998Equipment35mm camera, mounted on a tracking platform.DescriptionThese two images were taken during the wonderful Leonid meteor storm of 1998. The first image captures a brilliant bolide as it explodes in the atmosphere. The flash of the meteor was as bright as the full moon. The second exposure was begun immediately following, capturing the ghostly cloud of debris left over from the meteor. That cloud persisted for over 30 minutes. Both images are 15 minute long exposures, guided using a small equatorial mount. |
