Sprites are created when powerful lightning hits the ground. The strike causes an electric field above the storm which ionizes nitrogen in our atmosphere. These brief events can be 40 miles high by 40 miles wide. The storm that produced these was about 400 miles away. Nature is amazing. #deepskydude #astronomy #redsprites #stormaurora #sprites | Deep Sky Dude
