A highly rare and spectacular natural phenomenon called Red Sprites (red lightning) flashing across the night sky above a body of water and distant mountains
Unlike normal lightning that strikes down from the clouds, red sprites happen way up high in the Earth's upper atmosphere during intense thunderstorms.
Scientists using satellite and seismic data have discovered that Earth produces a puzzling pulse every 26 seconds, often described as its “heartbeat.” First detected in the 1960s, this steady rhythm is thought to stem from ocean waves striking the seafloor near the Gulf of Guinea or possibly from volcanic activity in the region.
