A stunning image captured from the International Space Station (ISS) shows a rare red sprite above a bright lightning flash over Earth's surface at night. The ISS solar panels and robotic arm are visible in the foreground. This elusive atmospheric phenomenon was once considered a legend.

A breathtaking night-time image captured from Las Campanas Observatory in Chile, showcasing several red sprites – elusive, high-altitude electrical discharges – above the Andes Mountains in Argentina. These fleeting, reddish streaks of light are rarely seen and are believed to be triggered by powerful positive cloud-to-ground lightning strikes.
