Is that a real picture, not CGI or PS? That's incredible.

I'm sure it has had some post processing done but it is a picture from Hubble.

Posted about this in the weather thread earlier tonight, but this one deserves to be in here. Local storm chaser/photographer was out chasing monsoons tonight and we had a nice system to the south of me. Produced an epic shelf cloud and a nice hail core. Hard to believe we can get this kind of stuff in Arizona.

Yes.

Gotta feel a bit for the folks that have to repair the fence now.... and

But I'm very, very glad that they were able to keep the wire from killing the one! That didn't sound like a nice problem!

Or she'll catch a big honkin' one.

Remember that gaping sinkhole that suddenly appeared a week ago in the middle of Fukuoka, a Japanese city on the western island of Kyushu? Well, the locals promptly got to work and fixed it all up – just one week later (erroneously reported in some places as two days, but still impressive). That is ludicrously efficient, considering the beast was 30 meters (98 feet) wide and 15 meters (49 feet) deep.

I've got to say that that is a gorgeous picture!
