NASA astronaut captures rare atmospheric phenomenon from the ISS

According to glavcom.ua: NASA astronaut Nicole Ayrs captured a rare sprite from the ISS. This phenomenon occurs in the atmosphere during thunderstorms and is nearly impossible to see from the Earth's surface, but looks impressive from orbit.

According to the astronaut herself, these photographs will provide scientists with valuable information about the nature of sprites. They are also conducting a series of scientific experiments studying the flammability of materials in microgravity and the impact of the space environment on the human body.
