What are the red flashes in the Australian sky? A rare kind of lightning — red sprites, the existence of which was confirmed just 30 years ago.
Recent studies have shown that after a strong lightning strike in the direction of the earth red sprites can be in the form of the 100-meter balls of ionized air that flows from an altitude of about 80 km at a speed equal to 10% of the speed of light, and are accompanied by upward jets of ionized balls.
This the distant the storm was done a little over a week ago in Kununurra, Western Australia. In the foreground a carpet of beautiful the green trees on the horizon, darken the mountains, under ominous storm clouds, but high up in the starry sky, like fireworks, blazing red sprites. They appear for a split second and are best seen if watching a thunderstorm on the side.
