Astronaut's Stunning Image Reveals Elusive "Red Sprite" Above Earth
TL;DR
Astronaut Andreas Mogensen, on behalf of the European Space Agency, captured images of a rare meteorological phenomenon known as a red sprite using a high-resolution camera. Red sprites are transient luminous events that occur above thunderclouds at altitudes between 40 and 80 kilometers above the Earth's surface. These quick and elusive events pose challenges for scientists to study comprehensively, but further research can provide valuable insights into upper atmospheric activities.
