Lightning flash propagation

Description
This animation shows a lightning flash from September 2017 as detected by the LOFAR radio telescope in the Netherlands. The flash lasts just 1/5th of a second. The amplitudes of radio pulses are shown with colors from purple through blue up to white. To help track the propagation, the entire flash is shown in semi-transparent white.
# Technical
We found data for the flash on the [website of Brian Hare from the University of Groningen](https://research.rug.nl/en/datasets/processed-data-for-the-relationship-of-lightning-radio-pulse-ampl). We wrote a custom reader for ParaView, then visualized the data as points and exported to glTF.
# Project
This lightning flash was one of two observed by Hare and colleagues as discussed in [their paper from October 2021](https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2021EA001958).
