Astronaut Captures Image of Mysterious Red Sprite High Above The Earth

An astronaut of the European Space Agency captured the mysterious red light shining in the sky on camera. Astronaut Andries Mogensen captured these photographs with high resolution camera, when he was using camera for the use of Thor-Davis at Danish Technical University. This experiment is performed to check the power shining in the upper atmosphere of the Earth, to find out what effect it has on greenhouse gases, and what they contribute to global warming.

The red light seen has been called red sprite. Its measurement is stated to be 14×26 km. BBC Report According to the scientist Oliver Chennaryon leading the experiment, these pictures captured by Andreas are amazing.

What is red sprite?
This is an extraordinary phenomenon called the Transport Lamuminus event. It is usually called red lightning. This storm falls over the clouds that occur at an altitude of 40 to 80 kilometers from the surface of the earth. Simple lightning moves towards the earth with clouds, but it takes the opposite way. It moves from clouds and up to space.

It glows very fast which is less than a millisecond. In such a situation, it is very difficult for a scientist to capture it. Due to which there is difficulty in studying it. Since this incident happens over stormy clouds, it is very difficult to observe it from the earth. It can be seen more well than space. Red spright is not only such a seasonal phenomenon, besides Blue Jets are also the second example of the transcription long -term event.
