@StoryfulNews I did shoot this. But no thank you.....I pay loads of money for fuel to do this. I won't be giving my content away for someone else to profit.
Just. Wow. As we went over Mexico and the U.S. this morning, I caught this sprite.
Sprites are TLEs or Transient Luminous Events, that happen above the clouds and are triggered by intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below. We have a great view above the clouds, so scientists can use these types of pictures to better understand the formation, characteristics, and relationship of TLEs to thunderstorms.
Best noctilucent clouds I've seen from Calgary since 2021!
These "night shining" clouds are polar mesospheric clouds that exist near 80km above Earth. #yyc
