@astrashristi: This is not CGI. This is a real red sprite captured above a thunderstorm. 😳🌩️ A rare red sprite lightning event was recorded high above a thunderstorm in Tibet, creating one of the most extraordinary atmospheric phenomena ever captured on camera. Unlike ordinary lightning, red sprites occur in the upper atmosphere, typically between 50 and 90 kilometers above Earth, and are triggered by powerful thunderstorms below. These brief flashes of red light last only a few milliseconds, making them incredibly difficult to observe and record. 👀 Because of their unusual appearance, red sprites are sometimes called "ghost lightning" or "ghost fires," and they can look like something straight out of science fiction. This stunning footage is a reminder that our atmosphere still contains fascinating mysteries that scientists continue to study today. ✨ 👇 Would you want to witness a red sprite storm in person? 🎥 : @shuchang_dong on Instagram Follow @astrashristi for space facts, weather phenomena, science discoveries, astronomy, and mind-blowing natural events. 🚀 #RedSprite #RedSpriteLightning #SpriteLightning #Thunderstorm #Lightning #WeatherPhenomena #AtmosphericPhenomena #Meteorology #EarthScience #Science #ScienceFacts #Nature #NatureVideo #RareFootage #StormChasing #Weather #Astronomy #SpaceAndScience #NaturalPhenomena #ScienceTok #ViralScience #AmazingNature #Physics #EducationalContent #LearnOnTikTok #WonderOfScience #Atmosphere #Tibet #NatureLovers #ScienceDaily #FYP #FORYOUPAGE #TRENDING #EXPLORE #EXPLOREPAGE #creatorsearchinsights
