For those curious and awake, we have a total lunar eclipse happening next Tuesday morning, March 3...unfortunately, the weather at this point looks pretty iffy...

You may have seen pictures, but have you ever seen video of a Gigantic Jet #TLE from space?
Astronaut Jeanette Epps captured this incredible sequence on July 20th, 2024 as part of the DTU/ESA Thor-Davis experiment.

[Epilepsy] MacLean and Arellano (1950): "The basal electroencephalogram shown here revealed a phase reversal of the spike at the right tympanic electrode."
Right above me the sky is spotless, but 100 miles to the east, near Tucson, there are huge thunderstorms. I can see the flashes clearly from here. So I've got two cameras set up shooting the sky for sprites. there are nice big silhouetted saguaro cactus in the foreground, so if I catch any it should be pretty cool.
If you're not sure what I'm talking about, do a search for "sprite lightning". These things are surreal and and it's hard to believe they actually exist until you see one.
I just realized I never shared pictures of the red sprites, that I caught last year on August 14th.
They occured over a large thunderstorm complex in the Franche-Comté region in France, about 400 km from my location.
