A lightning event from April 2019 as detected by the LOFAR radio telescope in the Netherlands. Includes three separate flashes in less than 2 seconds. Pulses are colored by age, with bright white pulses fading to shades of blue and purple over time. Shows the entire event with annotated features. # Technical The event consists of 122k pulses in a text file. We wrote a custom reader for ParaView, then visualized the data as points and exported to glTF. Ground imagery from Google Earth. # Project Produced in collaboration with [Brian Hare](https://research.rug.nl/en/persons/brian-hare) and [Olaf Scholten](https://research.rug.nl/en/persons/olaf-scholten) at the University of Groningen.
