After many bouts of lightning round, we finally got our lightning questions answered by Eric Brunning (@deeplycloudy). Eric is a Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Texas Tech University specializing in storm electrification and lightning .

You can hear some of Eric\\u2019s field adventures by listening to his episode of the Don\\u2019t Panic Geocast show.

The Wikipedia page for lightning will lead you down many strange pathways. Though the Wikipedia Lightning Energy Harvesting page may convince you that it isn\\u2019t feasible (though some math might as well, as discussed on this show).

For more about lightning interferometry, check out Michael Stock\\u2019s in-depth site.

You can hear lightning on Jupiter if you listen to the right bands.

Neat video of the Milky Way in radio waves reflecting off the moon

Elecia really enjoyed The Cloudspotter\\u2019s Guide by Gavin Pretor-Pinney.
