A huge mushroom cloud suddenly appeared in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, triggering heated discussions. It turns out that this is an astronomical phenomenon called a microburst, which was captured by photographer Ferguson.

As can be seen from the photo, the microburst is like a giant mushroom cloud hovering over Phoenix, which is quite shocking.
