A NASA ER-2 takes off from MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, July 13, 2023, to conduct terrestrial gamma-ray (TGF) flash, or dark lightning, research in the Gulf of Mexico. TGFs are the most explosive manifestation of energetic natural particle acceleration and can deliver 1018 high-energy photons from thunderclouds to space in a few tens of microseconds. The Airborne Lightning Observatory for TGFs campaign is a collaboration between NASA and the University of Bergen to study the advanced science of high-energy radiation emissions from thunderstorms.
