Besides “Thunderclouds,” the chart’s next highest debut belongs to Sam & Dave ’s classic “Hold On I’m Coming,” which starts at No. 5.
Over the course of their experiment, they fired laser pulses for nearly 6 1/2 hours at thunderclouds, while the tower was hit 16 times by lightning.
It was discovered, more or less by coincidence, that cosmic rays provide suitable probes to measure electric fields within thunderclouds. This surprising finding is published in Physical Review ...
