Here’s a link to the three full-sized photos in case anyone else was annoyed that an article describing an ultra-detailed photo only included low-res thumbnails.
Thanks. I never understood why it seems to be too hard to actually show what your writing about.
I did a school report on lightning 20(!) Years ago and included these. It’s strange we seem to know little more about them other than having better photos now.
