Watch the footage that astounded the world of lightning science as bolts of light grow upward from the ground. (from Discovery Channel's "Raging Planet")

Brief collection of the biggest lightning strikes ever hitting Brisbane. Looking south over the Brisbane river with story bridge on the left and the Gabba cricket ground straight ahead.

This massive clear air bolt (cloud-to-ground lightning bolt) hit about 200-250m away from our location. Here in Darwin, Australia these bolts can leap 15-20km away from the main storm striking a dry area surrounding the storm. You don't see me in the frame for good reason as I was in my car! :P :O
A photo was captured using a Canon 1DMark IV and lightning trigger made by Stepping Stone Products, LLC - http://www.lightn...
Photo can be seen here: http://www.flickr...
The bolt hits near the base of the tree as a large puff of dust can be seen after the initial strike!
Thanks to Jacci for providing some foreground entertainment! :D

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you microwaved dry ice? Here's your chance to find out, without risking your microwave!
First I've compared dry ice in water, in the microwave compared with left out on the countertop. The microwaved dry ice in water is nearly gone after a minute in the microwave because the microwave heated the water, causing the dry ice to sublimate more quickly.
Next I compared dry ice on a plate in the microwave to dry ice left on the counter. Although the microwaved plate became very hot, the dry ice was unaffected. The microwaved piece of dry ice and the control piece of dry ice were comparable in terms of shape and size.
The reason why dry ice is unaffected by microwaves is because carbon dioxide is a linear molecule with no electrical polarity. The electromagnetic waves given off by the microwave don't really interact with the nonpolar molecule, so nothing happens.
