European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andreas Mogensen has captured a new image of a red sprite, a rare type of electrical discharge that looks like an alien invasion. The TLE, or Transient Luminous Event, was captured by Mogensen using an "event camera" that works more like a human eye than a regular camera. The study aims to better understand how lightning in the upper atmosphere affects the concentration of greenhouse gases.
