The Night Sky

I just went out and waited about 15 minutes and so nothing except these two very strange lights in the sky. They almost look like paratroopers in a parachute, but in white, they are stationary they do not move. I know the pictures don’t do them justice, but that’s what they look like

They were supposed to be two comets tonight. I guess I missed them , but I got a trailer shot

Pretty cool picture of Red Sprites in New Zealand...

Red sprites are rarely seen outside a few regions that produce enormous storms, like the Great Plains in the United States or the vast Northeast China Plain. Even where they can be seen with some regularity, seldom do photographers capture them in sharp detail.

They are among a group of weather phenomena known as transient luminous events, electrical discharges in the atmosphere around a thunderstorm that last only a few seconds.

The sprites appear red because they happen above storms in the mesosphere, an atmospheric layer more than 30 miles above Earth’s surface. They turn blue or purple as the electrical discharge descends, much like the changing colors of aurora borealis, according to Gaopeng Lu, an atmospheric physicist at the University of Science and Technology of China.
