Researchers have long studied how lightning works in the hopes of better understanding why it acts the way it does and why it hits some things but not others.
When a lightning strike occurs, the eventual target of the strike has not yet been determined, according to the new findings. Lightning happens fast, and because of that, it’s impossible to tell where it originates with the human eye alone. As technology progressed, researchers were able to see something they’d never seen before. It quickly became clear that lightning isn’t a bolt that travels from the cloud to the ground, but rather the release of unbalanced charges in both the ground and the clouds.
“It is a very important issue because, in lightning development, there are a lot of branches,” Rubin Jiang, co-lead author of the study,. “The target of the lightning strike is not determined at the beginning when it initiates from the cloud. The attachment process is the process that eventually determines the object that’s struck by the lightning flash.”
