Summary

[edit]
Description
English: iss071e170351 (6/3/2024) --- NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick captured red sprites from space station. The bright red flashes in the center of this image are a little-understood phenomenon associated with powerful lightning events and appear high above the clouds in Earth’s upper atmosphere. Red sprites are one type of Transient Luminous Events, colorful bursts of energy that appear above storms due to lightning activity occurring in and below storms on Earth. Understanding processes occurring in Earth’s atmosphere can help improve climate modeling and monitoring.
