This astronomy picture is not as closely related to astronomy as the other pictures but it still has to do with science. This picture shows a supercell in Glasgow, Montana, USA. A supercell is a really large storm with rotating upward winds. These can often become tornadoes with rain and even hail. This is one of the more dangerous and severe storms. However, this particular did little damage and lasted only a few hours. I was not aware that there were storms like these. I only imagined the typical tornadoes that look like the swirling cyclones. I was surprised to see one this big and to know it cause minor damage because of its largeness. These are normally common in the plains which is why this supercell took place in this field in Montana. It looks amazing but it would have probably been terrifying if one was actually there.
