Paul Smith is a night-sky fanatic and photographer.
His obsession is sprites: immense jolts of light that
flicker high above thunderstorms. Last October, he
guided NASA scientist Dr. Burcu Kosar through the
backroads of Oklahoma to catch one herself.
Although she'd studied sprites for more than 15 years,
she hadnt yet chased one.
