A Reuters photographer captured a photo of the exact moment volcanic
lightning struck the mouth of the volcano.
The average lightning strike lasts about 30 microseconds, or .00030 seconds, making this a very lucky photo.
A Reuters photographer captured a stunning photo of lightning striking Japan s Mount Sakurajima volcano on Thursday.
Located in southern Kyushu, Sakurajima is one of the world s most active volcanoes, spewing ash and lava every four to 24 hours. The photo shows bolts of lightning colliding with the mouth of the volcano.
Hereâs how neuroscience can protect AI from cyberattacks

Deep learning has come a long way since the days it could only recognize hand-written characters on checks and envelopes. Today, deep neural networks have become a key component of many computer vision applications, from photo and video editors to medical software and self-driving cars.
Roughly fashioned after the structure of the brain, neural networks have come closer to seeing the world as we humans do. But they still have a long way to go and make mistakes in situations that humans would never err.
These situations, generally known as adversarial examples, change the behavior of an AI model in befuddling ways. Adversarial machine learning is one of the greatest challenges of current artificial intelligence systems. They can lead machine learning models failing in unpredictable ways or becoming vulnerable to cyberattacks.
