Eerie, ultra-detailed photo of a lightning ‘sprite’ exposes one of nature’s least understood phenomena::An astronomer in Slovakia captured the rare luminous phenomenon as it briefly flashed in Earth’s upper atmosphere during a thunderstorm.
I did a school report on lightning 20(!) Years ago and included these. It’s strange we seem to know little more about them other than having better photos now.
