Sprite Lightning in HD


From today's post over at NASA-APOD


The very existence of this form of lighting was only confirmed about 30 years ago, and the phenomenon is so fleeting that previously only blurry red blobs have been photographed.  Seeing this level of detail is amazing.  General info on sprites is available (as with everything else it seems) at Wikipedia.
