Definition
An optical instrument designed to observe, track, or measure the position and movement of lightning bolts during thunderstorms.
Etymology
From Greek 'keraunos' (lightning) + '-scope' (to view), created in the 1800s to help scientists study lightning paths scientifically.
Kelly Says
Early ceraunoscopists discovered that lightning doesn't just streak down in one path—it's actually a branching web of electricity flickering back and forth between ground and sky.
