ORIGIN AND TIMING OF FORMATION OF PRECIOUS BLACK OPAL NOBBIES AT LIGHTNING RIDGEKatie DowelllJ MavrogenesD McphailJohn Watkins
The process that melted and formed the chondrules, millimeter-sized glassy beads within meteorites, has not been conclusively identified. Origin by lightning in the solar nebula is consistent with many features of chondrules, but no viable model of lightning has yet been advanced. We present a mod...
NASA’s Juno mission has captured an image of a lightning bolt near Jupiter’s north pole, a sight most often observed on the gas giant as compared to Earth, where lightning primarily occurs near the equator. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS, Image processing by Kevin M. Gill © CC...
Superbolts – the rare and most extreme form of lightning — can be more than a thousand times brighter than regular lightning flashes and have a distinct formation mechanism – according to a new study done in the US. As well as shining new light on the origins of this impressive pheno...
On Earth, lightning originates inside turbulent clouds, whose upward winds lift water droplets and freeze them into ice, while downward winds push those frigid blobs back to the bottom of the clouds. Where the falling ice meets the rising water drops, electrons are stripped off from the former...
Application of lightning spatio-temporal localization method based on deep LSTM and interpolation The generation of lightning originates from the continuous accumulation of electric charges in clouds, and the atmospheric electric field instrument, as a ... R Bao,Z He,Z Zhang - 《Measurement》 被引...
It originates as shock waves close to the channel, and moves radially away from the channel. Thunder changes in pitch with varying distances from the channel. The closer one is to the lightning flash, the more high-pitched and 'crackle-sounding' the thunder. The further away, the more low...
In a new study, scientists have proposed that volcanic lightning may have played a pivotal role in sparking the origin of life on Earth. This phenomenon, characterized by intense electrical discharges during volcanic eruptions, could have fixed atmos... lightning volcanoes life amino acids How Cance...

Heinz Kasemir first hypothesized that a lightning leader system actually develops in a bipolar fashion, with both a positive and a negative branching leader system connected at the system origin and containing a net zero charge. This process provides a means for the positive leader to conduct away...
