A Stunning Display in the Sky
A recent phenomenon amazed astronauts as they witnessed a vibrant red sprite lighting up the sky above a thunderstorm in Mexico. This breathtaking occurrence showcases nature’s incredible power and beauty. As the astronauts looked down from the International Space Station, they were treated to a light show that few have ever experienced.
Red sprites are rare electrical discharges that occur high above thunderstorms. They can appear as brilliant flashes of light, often taking on a reddish hue. These phenomena usually happen at altitudes of around 50 miles and can stretch across several miles. This recent display captured by the astronauts serves as a reminder of the mysteries of our atmosphere and the wonders of space.
