“Elves,” “Blue Jets,” and “Sprites,” don’t immediately raise interest in astro-meteorology, but these three different dazzling light discharges are what is seen above the storm clouds at the same moment we see lightning striking the Earth.
The problem for us Earth-dwellers trying to see these events is that unless we are so far away as to be able to see above a storm cloud, that storm must also be large enough to produce these powerful lightning flashes.
The Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) isn’t limited in that way, and the state-of-the-art weather observatory docked at the ISS is helping scientists get to know this space lightning better.
As recently as 2015, red sprites and blue jets were known to astronomers, as ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen explains in a video from 2016. His was a 10-day project on space lightning aboard the ISS Cupula observatory called, naturally, “Thor.” less
A space weather observatory has captured footage of blue jets, red sprites, and elves—three different kinds of space lightning.
