Lightning has long been associated with volcanic eruptions, as seen in this spectacular photo taken in February of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland, which was major news in the early part of the year. The volcano spewed ash into the atmosphere, causing air travel chaos.

The lightning flashed when oppositely charged particles in rising plumes of rock and ash separated into layers, creating a charge differential between the layers that grew enough for a charge to jump the gap, releasing energy as lightning.

Such bolts may have seeded early Earth with an essential ingredient for life. .
