That's some weird semantic nitpicking. Wikimedia has a category of "photographs of the Sun": https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_of_t... Do you think they are not photographs of the Sun because these are not what I see if I look at the sun with my eyes? (In which case I'll see pure white then perma black, I assume.)

Will head hair on humans do this too?

I once was about 30-50ft from where lightning struck, standing on my porch looking towards my neighbors' house. I didn't see the actual strike happen but I did feel my hair stand on end and then see basically this coming off of the leaves reaching up towards the sky. Little purple tentacles all reaching upwards. But then I got to the point in the article where they seemed to explain this wasn't visible to the naked e…
> I did feel my hair stand on end I've experienced this when a strike hit power lines above my head. I didn't see the actual strike either - my friend a the other end of the driveway said it was right above me, but that sounds a little hyperbolic to me despite the ringing in my ears. I think we'd both be dead if it were that close. Either way, it gave me a lifelong respect for lightning.
I was super lucky as so much of it had bled off that it felt more like a slap that left me all tingly for hours.

Maybe they take issue with the word "glowing", which doesn't usually refer to invisible electromagnetic radiation
I was going to say the same. It's true that the image isn't fiction or a purely fabricated "artists rendering" from data. But it's also true that "filmed" and "glowing" are unusual ways to refer to what happened. You don't usually say filmed when talking about recording uv or microwaves etc. You technically could, and probably back when film was actually how uv was recorded a few people working in the field probably…
Essentially every color photograph you have ever seen is a composite of a red photographic, a green photograph, and a blue photograph.

What he explains sounds exactly like what you (or at least I) see when you close your eyes and then put pressure on them.

The headline suggests that people have seen treetops glowing and it just hasn’t been captured on video before. The actual pictures and video is of something that nobody could have seen with their eyes.
This reminds me of a chat room interaction I had maybe 25 years ago. The other person was adamant that humans can't see the infrared from TV remotes, and I was adamant that I could. It was pretty a widespread belief (even in school science books) at that time that humans couldn't see infrared. Since then more science was done to prove that, in fact, some humans can see some infrared under some conditions. I share tha…
