Residents of the Terlingua area were shaken last night by powerful lightning, strong winds, and pounding hail.
Meanwhile, about 45 miles above the storm in the mesosphere, the drama silently unfolded in the form of sprites!

Sprites are electrical discharges triggered by powerful lightning strikes, but have more in common with aurora than a typical lightning bolt. Sprites last just fractions of a second but can be seen under dark skies high above powerful thunderstorms as faint red or grey structures.

This group of sprites was captured from McDonald Observatory and was triggered by a lightning strike on the remote eastern edge of Big Bend National Park, 110 miles away. The same event was simultaneously captured by a photographer 300 miles away near Austin, Texas, which reveals that the structures are arranged in one continual line estimated to be about 30 miles long!

Have you seen sprites? You can contribute to science by uploading your observations to:
