This Is What Thunder LOOKS Like
Researchers from the Southwest Research Institute in Texas launched a rocket with a trailing copper wire into a storm, and were able to make lightning happen right where they thought it would. With this predictability, they could train arrays of microphones at the spot and capture the sound waves of thunder visually, in unprecedented detail.

Science has come a long way since 1752, but when it comes to inducing lightning not that much has changed since Ben Franklin. Only instead of kites, we now shoot rockets into storms, which feels like progress.

Maher A Dayeh, a research scientist in the SwRI Space Science and Engineering Division, told me he gets the Ben Franklin comparison a lot. I asked him over email why he studied the “acoustic signature” of thunder.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

No, I read the story. Someone held the string, perhaps Ben, but when their hair stood up on their hands they quit. Pretty smart if you ask me. They probably wouldn't have survived an actual lightening strike. A key suspended in the middle, if it was true would have done nothing.
