Chasing Sprites in Electric Skies
Paul Smith is a night-sky fanatic and
photographer. His obsession is sprites : immense jolts of light that flicker high above thunderstorms. Last October, he guided NASA scientist Dr. Burcu Kosar through the backroads of Oklahoma to catch one herself. Although she'd studied sprites for more than 15 years, she hadn't yet chased one.
