Enlightenment Lightning, 1766
Enlightenment gentlemen and lady studying lightning in their living room. Such an activity could lead to a shocking revelation: do not try this in your own home. Frontispiece to "La Nature Dans La Formation Du Tonnerre, Et La Reproduction Des Etres Vivans", Par M. l'Abbe Poncelet. 1766. Lightning is a flash of light in the sky caused by an electrical discharge between clouds or between a cloud and the Earth's surface. The flash heats the air and usually causes thunder. Lightning may appear as a jagged streak, as a bright sheet, or in rare cases, as a glowing red ball.
