Red Sprites and Blue Jets Appearing as cone bursts, glows or bright discharges, blue jets and red sprites occur only in the upper atmosphere,
and are therefore very faint and often not visible to the naked eye. [image: diagram] *Eurekalert<http://www.eurekalert.org/features/kids/2005-10/cp-ssa101305.php> * These natural phenomena have a lifespan of only a few hundred milliseconds at most so capturing them on camera is very difficult. However, the Danish National Space Centre have placed cameras on mountain tops to study how elves and sprites are created, how often they occur and what it means for the environment. *Red Sprite:* [image: red sprite] NASA <http://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/spd/sprites.html> Red Sprites are found above large thunderstorms and are often associated with larger cloud-to-ground lightning flashed. They are at their most luminous high in the atmosphere and last only a few thousandths of a second. *Blue Jet:* [image: blue sprite] Blue jets are discharged around thunderstorms and extend for many miles up into the atmosphere. It’s thought they provide a mechanism for energy transfer between thunderclouds and the lower ionosphere. *-- ~~~Whatever mountains stands in your path, Whatever obstacle blocks your way, Whatever difficulty immobilized you, The prayer full of faith can remove it~~~. ~~~Kebahagiaan Hidup Yang Tertinggi Adalah Keyakinan Yang Diri Kita Dicintai.
