Lightning: Lightning Research Rocket (2009)

This rocket was struck by a bolt of lightning during an experiment led by the University of Florida’s Lightning Research Group. The spool of wire on the bottom of the rocket conducts the lightning to a designated location on the ground for research purposes.
Gift of Dr. Martin Uman.
