Скачать или смотреть Meet the Rare Red Sprite

From high above Earth, astronauts aboard the ISS captured one of nature’s rarest and most beautiful phenomena: the red sprite ⚡

These glowing, jellyfish-like flashes appear high above thunderstorms, triggered by powerful lightning strikes. Unlike the lightning we see from the ground, sprites fire upward into the mesosphere, glowing red as nitrogen molecules become briefly energized.

Lasting just milliseconds, they’re nearly impossible to see with the naked eye — but space cameras can catch them in action.
🌩️ First photographed in 1989
📸 Captured again in 2025 by astronaut Nichole Ayers
🧠 And still — we’re just beginning to understand them.
