Summer is the season of sprites. These strange red formations shoot from the tops of strong thunderstorms. Through the release of heat energy from the atmosphere formed exotic to up zip red.
Knowing that sprites — traditionally a summer phenomenon, Daniel szczerba from Czech Republic was very surprised to see them in the night on 14 January, in the dead of winter:
"These sprites are fired over a thundercloud in the Adriatic sea 700 km from where I live," says Scherba.
On data sheet the weather radar. the red arrows show in which direction from the Observatory Scherba was a storm.
"I've photographed 16 sprites for the first time in 2019," — said the author of the picture.
As the sprites appeared in the winter? Some researchers believe that sprites are linked to cosmic rays: subatomic particles from deep space striking the top of Earth's atmosphere, produce secondary electrons that, in turn, provide an impulse, causing the sprites. Maybe red lightning shot in the off-season because of the increase in the level of cosmic rays during solar minimum.
