About this reel
In this intriguing short reel, viewers are introduced to the surprising discovery of terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) generated by thunderstorms on Earth. The narration delves into how these fleeting bursts, lasting only a thousandth of a second, emerge from lightning formation processes and involve electrons reaching near-light speeds. Despite their immense energy output comparable to large-scale human-built physics equipment, the exact mechanisms behind TGF creation remain unclear. The video concludes by pondering over this cosmic mystery hidden in plain sight within our atmosphere. Perfect for science enthusiasts or anyone curious about the secrets of everyday natural phenomena.
