🇯🇵 Japan: Red Sprites Over Hiratsuka

⚡️A rare atmospheric phenomenon, red sprites, was observed over Hiratsuka (Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan) on December 21, 2024.

‼️ Red sprites belong to the category of transient luminous events. They occur as a result of an electrical discharge in the atmosphere at altitudes ranging from 50 to 90 km above a thunderstorm cloud. These bright flashes create a spectacular visual effect, resembling glowing columns or streaks, and can only be seen under specific weather conditions.

🌍 Such phenomena, though rare, captivate both scientists and enthusiasts of unique natural occurrences.

🇺🇸 USA | RED SPRITES OVER MINNESOTA — A RARE PHENOMENON BECOMES MORE FREQUENT

📹 On June 21, 2025, red sprites were captured over the state of Minnesota — a rare atmospheric phenomenon that was once considered nearly impossible to observe.

🌧☄️ Red sprites are transient luminous events (TLEs) — brief, glowing flashes that occur 50 to 90 km above thunderclouds, triggered by powerful electrical discharges in the upper atmosphere.

⚠️ In recent years, reports of red sprites have been increasing from around the world — from the U.S. and Europe to Asia and Australia. This trend has raised growing concern among scientists and climate observers. Why?

🔬 The rising frequency of sprites may be linked to increasing thunderstorm activity, higher temperatures, and shifts in energy dynamics in the upper atmosphere — all of which could be symptoms of accelerating climate change.

🌍 What was once a rare phenomenon is now being seen more and more often. It’s another warning sign: Earth’s atmosphere is changing, and we must pay close attention to these signals from nature.
