Anvil Crawlers are a type of lightning that can appear to crawl out of a cloud during a severe thunderstorm. In the development of a thunderstorm, an anvil cloud or towering cumulonimbus cloud will form as a result of convective processes in the atmosphere. 

During the dissipation of a severe storm, multiple discharges of lightning that never appear to make it to the ground will appear to cling to the base of a cloud. Looking up at the cloud base, an anvil crawler will look like snakes of lightning swirling underneath the clouds. (Source)

Grass after a lightning strike. For those who don’t already know, the figure you see above is called a Lichtenberg figure. It consists of branching electric discharges that sometimes appear on the surface or the interior of insulating materials. A lightning strike can also create a large Lichtenberg Figure in grass surrounding the point struck. (Source)

Some babies are often born with blue eyes that get darker over time. Why does this happen? It’s because of melanin. Melanin, produced by cells, is the pigment that’s responsible for giving you the color of your skin and hair. Just as sunlight turns the skin a darker shade, it does the same thing in the iris. When a baby enters the world, melanin production starts in the iris, which can lead to eye color changes. Just a smidgen of melanin and a baby will have blue eyes; add some more and you get green, gray, or hazel; even more and a baby’s eyes will be brown or even black. (Source)
