COSMIC MESSAGE

Scientists have been recording mysterious bursts of light in the sky, known as sprite lightning, for over 25 years. Their exact cause is still unknown, but high-speed videos are helping to detail their development. This footage, at 10,000 frames per second, shows sprite 'bombs' dropping and developing into multi-pronged streamers.
