Collection: Lightning Sprites


  • Lightning can disturb the electric field above a thunderstorm.
  • This briefly excites gases in the thin upper atmosphere.
  • Excited nitrogen releases red light, creating flashes called red sprites.
  • Red sprites rise far above storms and last only milliseconds.

Carry this same energy in your life: Just as lightning in one place can trigger effects far above the storm, one action can create consequences beyond where it first begins. (Lawfulness)
