>>12178218>celestial bodies have their electrostatic charge cancelled outMaybe.
I can't find any information about planet to planet lightning anywhere.
Even looked for star to planet lightning.
The amount of energy necessary to cross the vacuum gap of space, and the distance, is probably prohibitive to direct static discharge between bodies in space.
I wouldn't say that it's "cancelled out"
If two planets collide it's very reasonable to assume there would be planet to planet lightning, during the collision.
Remember for static discharge to occur between two objects there must be an exchange of electrons in one way or another.
How many free flowing electrons do we receive from Andromeda and vice versa?
I bet that's an eye popping number at first glance, but when you consider the vast amount of atoms in each galaxy and the distances between, I bet it's so negligible that you could win the lottery by 10^10 times in a row before an electron from andromeda collided with your house.
I mean to see if that discharge is even possible there needs to be a differentiation.
Which galaxy has more free electrons? Is the difference a lot? Any data we have on that is just estimation, probably, anyway.
