Baby teeth, fukushima and rocketdyne

An interesting subject, which I have no time to research at the moment.

Red Sprites one more time (updated June 24 2024)

Documentary about Sprites on YouTube and Pinterest page

Previous blog entry on sprites, blue jets and elves 

Observations of streamer formation in sprites


Optical imaging using a 10,000 frames per second high speed camerashows (Geophysical Research Lett. Vol.34 (2007)) that sprites are actually clusters of small, decameter-sized (10-100 m, 30-300 ft) balls of ionization that move downward, followed a few milliseconds later by a separate set of upward moving balls of ionization, and traveling up to ten percent of the speed of light.
