Image caption:
In the brooding serenity of a night in Belgrade, Serbia, a captivating display of lightning was captured during an astrophotography class in January 2023. Lightning is a natural electrical discharge that occurs during thunderstorms when electrically charged regions of the atmosphere momentarily equalise. This photograph, taken with a smartphone, showcases the transient yet stunning power of these electrical storms. It reminds us of the raw forces of nature that paint the night sky with electrifying displays, offering a glimpse into the powerful dynamics of Earth's atmosphere.

Image caption: Diese fesselnde Aufnahme eines Blitzes wurde während eines Astrofotografie-Kurses im Januar 2023 in der düsteren Stille einer Nacht im serbischen Belgrad eingefangen. Blitze sind natürliche elektrische Entladungen, die bei Gewittern auftreten, wenn sich elektrisch aufgeladene Bereiche in der Atmosphäre ausgleichen. Dieses Foto wurde mit einem Smartphone aufgenommen und demonstriert eindrucksvoll die flüchtigen aber dennoch gewaltigen elektrostatischen Kräfte während eines Gewitters. Die rohen Kräfte der Natur bemalen den Nachthimmel mit elektrisierenden Erscheinungen, was uns einen Einblick in die Dynamik der Erdatmosphäre liefert.

Image caption: Menzione d'onore al Concorso di astrofotografia IAU OAE 2023, categoria Immagini fisse con smartphone-dispositivi mobili: Il nostro cielo, di Ema Radulović.
Nella serenità cupa di una notte a Belgrado, in Serbia, è stato catturato un affascinante spettacolo di fulmini durante una lezione di astrofotografia nel gennaio 2023. Il fulmine è una scarica elettrica naturale che si verifica durante i temporali quando regioni dell'atmosfera cariche di elettricità si equilibrano momentaneamente. Questa fotografia, scattata con uno smartphone, mostra la potenza transitoria ma sorprendente di queste tempeste elettriche e riceve una menzione d'onore nella categoria Immagini fisse scattate esclusivamente con smartphone/dispositivi mobili. Ci ricorda le crude forze della natura che dipingono il cielo notturno con spettacoli elettrizzanti, offrendo uno sguardo alle potenti dinamiche dell'atmosfera terrestre.

Image caption: 2023 年 1 月，在塞尔维亚贝尔格莱德一个宁静的夜晚，一束迷人的闪电在一堂天体摄影课上被拍摄下来。闪电是在雷暴期间发生的自然电放电现象，当大气中带电区域瞬间平衡时就会发生。这张照片是用智能手机拍摄的，展示了这些电风暴短暂而惊人的威力。它们为我们展示了自然界的原始力量，它在空中绘制一副壮阔的画作，令我们有机会一睹地球大气层强大动力的风采。
