Chasing Sprites in Electric Skies

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 hadn't

yet chased one.
