ISS astronaut captured one of the rarest phenomena: sprite-like blue jets in the upper atmosphere.
It looks like computer graphics, but it’s real: rare lightning strikes not downwards into the ground, but upwards into the upper atmosphere.

It’s like touching a plasma ball.

My gaming experience tells me that we should make a beeline to that location to collect a trident from hell that will boost my attack but fuck up everything else like charisma and how NPC view you
Sprites are fascinating.
Not knowing red from blue = OP being a bot account?
If this is real why is the earth round?
Look a bit enhanced to me…
To my knowledge lightening is normally upwards from the ground, isn’t it? Never downwards.

I saw sprites once on the Subaru NAOJ telescope live feed on Mauna Kea. Couldn’t quite believe it at first, but got the screenshots to prove it! Never, ever thought I’d see them myself, being firmly at sea level for pretty much my whole life.
At least post the real picture, not an AI generated image.
