Yeah, it turns out that molecules have other shit to do in this solar system, even if they're also being part of our atmosphere. They get charged up sometimes, from the sun's energy or just from moving around each other, and they do weird stuff like auroras or lightning sprites.

I did a school report on lightning 20(!) Years ago and included these. It's strange we seem to know little more about them other than having better photos now.

I'm playing Armored Core 6 rn and these give me PTSD flashbacks of the bosses' Coral weapons
