Not really our business, but this is just super-cool: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn17664-gigantic-jets-blast-electricity-into-upper-atmosphere.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&nsref=online-news
Gigantic jets shoot upwards from thunderclouds and can reach altitudes above 80 kilometres. Now some people managed to measure the electrical discharge from a single gigantic jet, and it turns out: they are as strong as a lightning hitting the ground.
So... a lot of charge is going to heaven... the sky.. the void.
Okay, this is not 'into the void' at all, but still interesting, even after you've been told that the material there is ionised.
You should read the article: there is a hidden world behind the clouds.
