Скачать или смотреть Photographer Snaps Rare Red Ring in Italian Night Sky

In late March, a mysterious and awe-inspiring sight lit up the night sky in Italy - a massive circular red halo that lasted only for a moment. While many people missed the spectacle, nature photographer Valter Binotto captured a stunning image of the rare phenomenon from the town of Possagno, located in northern Italy.

This unusual ring flash is known as an "ELVE" or "emission of light and very low-frequency perturbations due to electromagnetic pulse sources," a rare type of atmospheric phenomenon resulting from intense thunderstorm electrification. In this case, the electromagnetic pulses from lightning struck Earth's ionosphere, creating a beautiful and eerie red ring in the sky.

This video takes a closer look at the incredible image captured by Binotto and delves into the science behind the phenomenon, explaining how rare atmospheric disturbances such as ELVEs and SPRITES can create these stunning displays in the sky.
