SKYWORKS

From when mythological gods ruled the planet, to when Ben Franklin conducted his famous key-and-kite experiment, to the actual discovery of lightning above the clouds and on other planets, these wondrous bolts of fire have continued to mystify us throughout the centuries. In this issue, we'll explore the fascinating phenomenon of lightning. We'll learn how lightning is formed, meet a woman who suffered an indirect lightning strike, and read some strange-but-true accounts of St. Elmo's fire and ball lightning. We'll also take a look at the discovery of lightning on other planets and explore some of the latest lightning-control technology involving lasers.
