Explanation:
It may appear, at first, like the Galaxy is producing the lightning, but really
it's the Earth. In the foreground of the above picturesque nighttime landscape
is the Greek Island of Corfu, with town lights surrounding Lake Korrision.
Visible farther in the distance are lights from the town of Preveza on the
Greek mainland. In the more distant sky a thunderstorm is threatening, with two
lightning strokes caught together during this 45 second wide-angle exposure
taken in mid-May. The lightning branch on the left appears to be striking near
Preveza, whereas the lightning strike on the right appears to be striking near
Mount Ainos on the Greek Island of Cephalonia. Much farther in the distance,
strewn about the sky, are hundreds of stars in the neighborhood of our Sun in
the Milky Way Galaxy. Furthest away, arching over the entire panorama, are
billions of stars that together compose the central band of our Milky Way.
