Microlightning Offers Scientific Explanation for Will-o-the-Wisp Lights
Stanford chemists in a PNAS 2025 paper report that tiny electrical discharges—“microlightning”—ignite methane bubbles, offering a source for will‑o‑the‑wisp lights. Read more: getnews.me/microlightning-offers-sc... #microlightning #willothewisp
Microlightning Sparks Reveal How Will‑o‑the‑Wisp Lights Form in Swamps
UPenn researchers recorded microlightning flashes between methane‑air bubbles, emitting UV 330‑370 nm that ignites methane and produces will‑o‑the‑wisp glows. Read more: getnews.me/microlightning-sparks-re... #microlightning #willothewisp
