not enough research has been done or data recorded on someone being struck by volcanic lightning, but scientists are becoming more aware of how it works and how to study it. https://t.co/ZFQ0MdGBqs #taysci1 in this experiment scientists generated similar lightning
Article 1 Questions
1- Is being struck by volcanic lightning more harmful than normal lightning?
2-Can scientists generate man made volcanic lightning?

When predicting a volcanic eruption, scientists can predict through small but telling signs such as small earthquakes, land shifting, and an increase in gas and heat emitted from vents. #taysci1
Article 1 interesting facts
1- Volcanic lightning is associated with eruptions, the larger the eruption the more lightning.
2- Colliding ice crystals create friction resulting in volcanic lightning.

One of the many reasons we monitor volcanoes is to prevent this: "Power was added to climb out of the cloud. About 10-15 seconds later all 4 engines failed and the standby electrical system failed." - Redoubt eruption, 1989 (pics: 1990). Report: https://t.co/EFxi0PBSrl
This is what volcanic ash looks like under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The holes in the glassy bits are from expanding gas as the magma was rising & erupting. From Veniaminof, Alaska. Via @alaska_avo https://t.co/two8FJGrma
Here is a jet coming from the M87 black hole [HST image]. This picture is on a scale of 1500 light years, compared to the event horizon image which is about a light-hour across
Scientists have obtained the first image of a black hole, using Event Horizon Telescope observations of the center of the galaxy M87. The image shows a bright ring formed as light bends in the intense gravity around a black hole that is 6.5 billion times more massive than the Sun
#taysci1#EHTblackhole#Blackholestu the image of the black hole resembles a solar eclipse, two remarkable moments of science I have been lucky to experience in my lifetime!
