"Traversing the Electrified Skies: In Search of Sprites"
NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, stands as a beacon of human achievement and curiosity. Since its establishment in 1958, NASA has pioneered space exploration, scientific discovery, and technological innovation. With groundbreaking missions, iconic achievements like the Apollo moon landings, and ongoing research in various fields, NASA continues to inspire us with its dedication to unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos and advancing our understanding of the universe.
Venturing beyond the realms of our planet, NASA has turned its gaze towards a captivating phenomenon known as electric skies. These dazzling displays of light, often referred to as transient luminous events (TLEs), include sprites, elves, and blue jets. Captured above thunderstorms, these electrifying occurrences provide scientists with vital insights into Earth's upper atmosphere and its intricate electrical activity. NASA's ongoing research into electric skies not only deepens our understanding of our planet's complex systems but also highlights the remarkable beauty that can be found in the midst of nature's most powerful forces. Paul Smith is a passionate photographer with a strong fascination for the night sky. His particular obsession lies in capturing sprites, which are bursts of light that flicker far above thunderstorms. In October of the prior year, he took on the role of guiding Dr. Burcu Kosar, a NASA scientist, on a journey across the rural roads of Oklahoma. The objective was for her to experience chasing a sprite herself, despite her extensive 15-year involvement in sprite studies. Discover more about the captivating endeavor of pursuing sprites alongside Paul and Burcu.
