Scientists have pondered the mystery of lightning on #Jupiter since @NASAVoyager’s flyby in 1979. Now, @NASAJuno sheds light on why and where it happens: https://t.co/9BmrGCC5FD

Une visite aujourd'hui. Joe et Justin de WAG TV ont tourné un reportage sur les sprites pour la Sience Channel. C'était très amusant.

First sprite observations from SKA in South Africa @ska_telescope @ska_africa @skasa_outreach. Sprite image from Mike Kosch (SANSA @sansa7) and radio recordings from Martin Fullekrug (University of Bath @BathElecEng @UniofBath). Magnificent radio quiescence at SKA Klerefontain.

They were imaging spirits from space. This phenomenon is so quick that the astronauts just had to image the Earth and later hear if they caught them in image. You can guess this was a favourite with the STS-107 crew.
