US Astronaut Nichole “Ayers” got into an odd view of a strange one “sprite” flowing over the ground above ground (issues).
“The sprites are tles or moving events of the cloudy, which occur above the clouds and induced in severe electricity activity in the storms below,” wrote to ayers in a x post image display. “We have a great look on the clouds, so scientists can use these types of pictures to better understand the formation, characteristics, and relationships with storms.”
Just. Wow. As we go to Mexico and the US this morning, these sprite.Sprite tles or shift events, which occur in clouds of storms below. We have a big look on top of the clouds, so … pic.twitter.com/dcqirn3vraJuly 3, 2025
Clear, multicolored sprites one of the least understood and visually inflicted electric events learned to reveal WORLDSang in the upper atmosphere during severe storms events. They usually occur approximately 50 miles (80 km) above the planet’s surface at the end of the lightning attacks, with many forms consisting of inner color, According to NASA.
However, giant sprite ayers have managed to witness a more impressive specimen, perceived to develop high light CLOUD And tread on the surface of the land above Mexico and the US all the time, the sprite appears to be glow
In the past few years, the ones working on “Spritocular” science science projectwho asked public members to provide images of scenes of a test to provide the scientific community available to decoding innovation.
These efforts are now reinforced by the orbital footage of odd events, including many astronauts aboard Hiswho – like ayers – have captured the picture as a creative outlet for some time at the station.
Many questions certainly strengthen the nature of the sprites, how and why it has done and how they associate with the surrounding space – but may have answers shortly.
