Pursuing Sprites in Electric Skies
Paul Smith is a night-sky fan and photographic artist. His fixation is sprites: colossal shocks of light that glimmer high above rainstorms. Last October, he directed NASA researcher Dr. Burcu Kosar through the country roads of Oklahoma to get one herself. In spite of the fact that she'd read up sprites for over 15 years, she hadn't yet pursued one.
