   New world record set for longest ever 'megaflash' lightning   
      
   A titanic bolt of lightning lit up a whopping 829km of sky from   
   eastern Texas to Kansas City, Missouri in the US. The monstrous streak   
   has set the new record for the longest ever lighting flash.   
      
   It went off during a storm in October 2017 but remained undiscovered   
   for almost a decade before observations made by the National Oceanic   
   and Atmospheric Agency's (NOAA) GOES-16 satellite were re-examined.   
      
   The event surpasses by almost 100km the previous record-holder which   
   stretched across 3 US states during a storm in April 2020.
