Nature: The Best Science Images of 2025

Nature magazine has chosen its favorite science images of the year. I’ve featured a few of these on the site already — Skydiving the Sun, red sprites in the New Zealand sky — so I picked a couple of other favorites to share:

A pair of pleasingly circular clouds is illuminated by lava from the Villarrica volcano in Chile as night falls. The scene was captured by photographer Francisco Negroni, who takes regular trips to the volcano to monitor its activity.

It shows two male green frogs (Lithobates clamitans) fighting over territory. The picture was captured by Grayson Bell, a talented 13-year-old photographer who gave it the genius title ‘Baptism of the Unwilling Convert’.

The first was taken by Francisco Negroni of the Villarrica volcano in Chile (check out his site for more amazing photos of volcanos & lightning). The second is by 13-year-old Grayson Bell of two green frogs fighting; Bell named his photo “Baptism of the Unwilling Convert”.
