Lightning isn’t just that angry zigzag that makes you count Mississippi’s – oh no, Mother Nature’s got a whole circus: glowing red jellyfish sprites that look like aliens throwing a rave above thunderstorms, blue jets shooting up like cosmic geysers, and even ball lightning that’s basically the Loch Ness Monster of electricity (still unproven, but people swear). From Thor’s hammer to Martian sparks, it’s the universe’s way of saying “hold my beer” while we all hide under blankets.
