Sprite

This image was taken at 33000 feet close to the city of Cochin in India when overflying the Indian Ocean. A huge thunderstorm associated with a lot of electric discharges was sending upward lighting type known as Blue Jet and the reddish is a Sprite probably at 80 km high at the Thermosphere. I was lucky to capture it as well as the Orion constellation on top and the tiny light on the far right of the thunderstorm is the B777 from Dubai to Cochin deviating from the storm.
