Last week, we explored whether light is a wave or a particle... and were left with more questions than answers. Now, let’s take a look at how one of nature’s flashiest phenomena can affect another ...
Triggered by lightning in thunderstorms, whistler waves are radio waves that are channelled thousands of kilometres around the world via ducts in the magnetosphere. As Ian Randall reports, these ...
An overlooked mechanism lets energy from lightning reach the highest layers of the atmosphere, where it could threaten the safety of satellites and astronauts. When lightning occurs, the energy it ...
NASA has launched the CANVAS CubeSat to investigate very low frequency (VLF) radio waves from lightning and human activities, tracing their path from Earth's surface into space. This mission bridges ...
NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft has detected the first direct evidence of lightning-like electromagnetic activity on Mars, identifying a rare whistler wave in the planet’s ionosphere. The signal, lasting 0.4 ...
The enormous eruption generated hundreds of times more power than an atomic bomb—and the most extreme lightning ever recorded. How did it happen? Lightning illuminates the sky over Nebraska's Platte ...
