RE: Bizarre Natural Phenomena Vol. 56 - Red Lights Above Lightning (Red Sprites)
According to their shapes, they can be divided into 3 different categories:
Jellyfish: huge sprites that can extend in areas of 50 to 50 km.
Column (C-sprites): large scale electrical discharges.
Carrot: C-sprites with long tendrils. [2]
Very inventive names. ^^
Yes! Someone's imagination went wild here :P
Yep great imagination in those names, and there might be more. I think there are also Elves and jets as well.
Another atmospheric phenomena with a highly imaginative name that cropped up recently was "Steve" (!). Steve is related to aurora, but appears closer to the equator than the normal aurora.
Shhhh! Don't spoil the next episode ;)
Steve?! That one I didn't know! Great! New stuff to look into!
Come on, spoilers are always good :)
They spoil the surprise :P
Whoops sorry, lol!
