  1. Спрайт (молния)
    
    Спрайт (англ. sprite — фея; эльф) — вид электрических разрядов холодной плазмы, бьющей в мезосфере и термосфере. Явление спрайтов было теоретически предсказано в 1924 году. История Самое раннее сообщение принадлежит Тойнби и Маккензи в 1886 году. Чарльз Уилсон в 1925 году теоретически предположил, что в верхних слоях атмосферы может произойти электрический пробой, а в 1956 году он стал свидетелем того, что, возможно, могло быть спрайтом. Впервые они были задокументированы фотографически 6 июля 1989 года, когда ученые из Миннесотского университета, используя видеокамеру с высокой чувствительностью, случайно получили первое изображение того, что впоследствии стало известно как спрайт. В 2016 году спрайты наблюдались во время прохода урагана Мэтью по Карибскому морю. Роль спрайтов в тропических циклонах в настоящее время неизвестна. Описание явления Спрайты трудноразличимы, но они появляются в сильную грозу на...

  @amicalucis Are these sprites(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(lightning)) or is it an Aurora (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora)? 🙂

  1. Sprite (lightning)
    
    Sprites or red sprites are large-scale electric discharges that occur in the mesosphere, high above thunderstorm clouds, or cumulonimbus, giving rise to a varied range of visual shapes flickering in the night sky. They are usually triggered by the discharges of positive lightning between an underlying thundercloud and the ground. Precis Sprites appear as luminous red-orange flashes. They often occur in clusters above the troposphere at an altitude range of 50–90 km (31–56 mi). Sporadic visual reports of sprites go back at least to 1886. They were first photographed on July 4, 1989, by scientists from the University of Minnesota and have subsequently been captured in video recordings thousands of times. Sprites are sometimes inaccurately called upper-atmospheric lightning. However, they are cold plasma phenomena that lack the hot channel temperatures of tropospheric lightning, so they are more akin to fluorescent tube discharges...
  2. Aurora
    
    An aurora (pl. aurorae or auroras), also commonly known as the northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis), is a natural light display in Earth's sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions (around the Arctic and Antarctic). Auroras display dynamic patterns of brilliant lights that appear as curtains, rays, spirals, or dynamic flickers covering the entire sky. Auroras are the result of disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere caused by the solar wind. Major disturbances result from enhancements in the speed of the solar wind from coronal holes and coronal mass ejections. These disturbances alter the trajectories of charged particles in the magnetospheric plasma. These particles, mainly electrons and protons, precipitate into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere). The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emit light of varying colour and complexity. The form of the aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating...

  @amicalucis That I know. 🙃 For that reason I asked (and posted two links to sprites and northern lights as well). I just thought on first glance that they looked rather like northern lights, than sprites to me. But well … it shows, that I was mistaken. 😭 (Thanks for the beautiful pic of the sprites then nevertheless! 😁)
