A thunderclap happens when lightning strikes, heating the air around the bolt to as high “as 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun,” the National Weather Service said. “Immediately after the flash, the air cools and contracts quickly. This rapid expansion a...

Volts from the Sky 1.Lightning has caused awe and wonder since old times. Although Benjamin Franklin demonstrated lightning as an enormous electrical discharge more than 200 years ago, many puzzles still surround this powerful phenomenon. 2.Lightning is generated when electrical charges separate in ...
The lightning attachment process is a transition process from the leader stage to the return stroke stage of lightning (Rakov & Uman, 2003), which determines the position that lightning strikes and is closely related to possible lightning disasters, and thus a key question in the research of li...
connect your system to the Earth. Drive some long metal rods into the dirt, and connect them to your wires. That way, lightning currents will be directed into the Earth rather than spreading throughout your power lines. Also, the clear-weather sky current can no longer build up a high vo...
me, and shot up into the sky. It was so brilliant, clear and clean. I thought the only thing that could make such a flash must be a diamond—maybe someone had lost some kind of jewelry. Or some kind of lightning strikes—so bright. I waited to see if it repeated but it didn’t...
to us, their paths are perturbed by the gravitational influences of the LSS, including in particular the effects of gravitational lensing. The apparent placements of young galaxies as projected on the sky and their statistical distributions are sensitive both to the current and the evolving geometry...

During that time, trees grow into the canopy and the initially high density of individuals decreases due to resource competition and mortality from fire [4,11,24]. After trees reach canopy height, mortality from lightning strikes, windstorms, and fires continue to reduce the density of patches ...
