Earth's Rarest Lightning

The video explores transient luminous events (TLEs) in the Earth's atmosphere, such as red sprites, blue jets, and elves. These phenomena are caused by electrical discharges in storm systems and vary in color due to atmospheric conditions. Red sprites, resembling jellyfish, occur high in the ionosphere, while blue jets and elves are distinct events with unique characteristics. The video highlights the challenges in observing these short-lived events and their significance in understanding atmospheric processes.
