COSMIC MESSAGE

Red sprites are brief, large-scale electrical discharges that occur high above thunderstorms, extending into the mesosphere. They are a type of lightning that reaches towards space, appearing as reddish, jellyfish-like structures. These elusive phenomena were only documented and studied in recent decades, revealing the complex electrical processes in Earth's upper atmosphere.
