Photo is of a volcano in Chile which erupted after being dormant for 9,000 years. Pictured is an exceedingly rare ‘dirty thunderstorm.’ Scientists are not entirely certain what causes dirty thunderstorms, but it may have something to do with the molten rock and metal, dust and debris causing static charges in the clouds. Regardless of what causes it, it’s terrifying.

What timo said,
Its because of the static electricity between the particles plus the excitable gases. Its fairly common.
This is a color photograph. Taken in 1915.

Wow! That's awesome. It would suck back then though, because with those cameras, you had to sit there for a good 5 mins until it captured it, then you would spend another 15 mins getting it to come out right
Yup. Notice the water's all blurred because of the exposure time.
