Chasing sprites in electric skies

1 year ago

Chasing sprites in electric skies is a captivating phenomenon involving rare and transient atmospheric electrical discharges. Sprites are large-scale electrical discharges that occur above thunderstorm clouds, usually at altitudes of 40 to 100 kilometers in the Earth's mesosphere.Sprites typically take on various shapes, including columns, tendrils, and even jellyfish-like structures. They are very brief, lasting only a few milliseconds, making them challenging to observe and study.
