   Summary Author:  Giovanni Tumino;  Jim Foster

   The photo above shows a summer  thunderstorm illuminating a portion
   of the flank of  Mt. Etna, in Sicily, Italy, as city lights light up
   the night sky in the vicinity of Etna’s base.  This stratovolcano
   (11,014 ft or 3,357 m), one of the most active on the planet, isn’t
   contributing to the glow of the sky here as it’s been relatively
    quiet since this past February. Note that stars are shining
   brightly above the top of the storm. Photo taken on July 18, 2021, from
    Ragusa, Italy.

   Photo details: Canon EOS RA; SIGMA 85 mm lens; f/1.4; f/4; four 15
   seconds exposures; ISO1600; combined in Photoshop
     * Ragusa (Sicily), Italy Coordinates: 36.9269, 14.7255
