Rare red sprites lightning observed over the Himalayas

In May 2022, a rare phenomenon called "red sprites" was observed over the Himalayas. These bright, glowing forms of lightning fascinated both scientists and photographers. Red sprites occur high above thunderstorms. They look like bright red flashes and can reach heights of 50 kilometers. They are still not fully understood, but researchers believe they are connected to powerful electrical storms below. The appearance of these sprites offers new insights into the chemistry and forces in the Earth's atmosphere. Many experts hope further study of these events will help improve weather forecasting and our understanding of climate change.
