"Lightning has captured people’s fascination for millennia. It’s embedded in
mythology, religion and popular culture. Think of Thor in Norse mythology or
Indra in Hinduism.

In Australia, lightning is also associated with important creation ancestors
such as shown in First Nations rock art.

There are many different types of lightning – and many ways in which it
influences our society and environment."
