June 4, 2023

Earth-like exoplanet discovered 90 light-years from Earth Exoplanets are planets located outside the solar system. The surface of this planet is full of active volcanoes. The study also shows that the radiation and gas emissions from these formed the atmosphere. The planet, named LP 791–18D, orbits a red dwarf star in the southern galaxy Crater….

Volcanic Lightning (dirty thunderstorm)

August 12, 2021

Volcanic lightning is an electrical discharge caused by a volcanic eruption. When an active volcano erupts, hot gases and ash rise through the lava face into the sky, sometimes penetrating even the stratosphere. Inside this warm gray cloud, rock fragments and ice particles generate electric charges. When all the parts of this burning hot object…
