>NASA astronaut Nichole ‘Vapor’ Ayers captured a spectacular image of a sprite, a rare form of lightning that shoots up from a thunderstorm. Ayers currently resides on board the International Space Station (ISS) as part of the SpaceX Crew-10 mission, which launched on March 14. “Just. Wow,” Ayers wrote on X on July 3. “As we went over Mexico and the U.S. this morning, I caught this sprite.” Ayers explains that sprites are Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) that happen above clouds and are triggered by intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below.
