DescriptionA black and white photograph of a man, wearing a hat, sunglasses and ear protection. He kneels on one knee measuring a lightning strike with a spectrometer.

A large dome-like metal structure rests in the grassy background near a lightning rod. The sky is dark with clouds in the Magdalena mountains in New Mexico.On View
