Ever since Ben Franklin’s experiments with a kite and a key in the 18th century, lightning has fascinated – and stumped – scientists. Even after decades of intense study, researchers still don’t know what gets lightning started. Is it colliding raindrops, regions of concentrated charge in the sky, or even avalanches of high-energy electrons triggered by cosmic rays from deep space? What’s your theory? Or do you simply have a good lightning story?
