A beautiful beast

This lovely "beast" appeared over a thunderstorm in Rhodes isl., Greece, on Nov. 13, 2023. More than 30 events were observed during the evening of Nov. 13, 2023 over #thunderstorms at E-SE. Aegean Sea and W. Turkey.

 

TLEs (like red sprites) are upper atmospheric electrical discharges and they appear, under specific circumstances, above thunderstorms (e.g. red sprites appear at altitudes of 40-90 km).

 

I've used a #Sigma 85 mm lens at f/1.4, for 1/25'' with 40 k iso.

 

Check our recent #paper about TLEs from Greek-based observers, here: doi.org/10.3390/environsciproc2023026009.
