Lightning My grandfather, Papa Joe, always told me this old,old story of the sky people. Every time we had a family get together around the bonfire you could count on him to entertain you with stories from his past native american tribe, the Slap-da-hoes.

The emission of light waves from the sun includes the visible light…
