We see lightning going to the ground

I didn't know that lightning went up to space. Lightning’s Mirror Image, Only Much Bigger reports that recently scientists have learned that sometimes lightening goes from clouds up, up to the low levels of space.

The lightening strikes up are about 40 miles, compared to the tiny ones we see which are typically about four miles.

We live in a fascinating universe.
