If you happen to spot what looks like a "jellyfish" in the sky, it's time to play it safe! These ethereal creatures might not be from the deep sea, but rather a rare weather phenomenon called a sprite. Despite their otherworldly beauty, sprites are electrical discharges high above thunderstorms and can pack a punch. So, finding a safe place indoors is crucial to avoid any unintended shocks. While they may not sting like their aquatic counterparts, witnessing these sky jellyfish is a visual treat best enjoyed from the safety of solid ground. Remember, nature's light shows are best appreciated when you're not part of the performance! 🌩️🔍🏠 Credit: CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/: Atmospheric lightning: Abestrobi, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Upperatmoslight1.jpg Red sprite: MTA Geodéziai és Geofizikai Kutatóintézet / Geodetic and Geophysical Reseach Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Red_sprite_in_Hungary.jpg Water plasma: Sfusare & Equazcion, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Water_plasma.jpg CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/: ESO: Red Sprites, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ESOcast_81_-_Red_Sprites.webm A bright canvas, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A_bright_canvas_%28potw2234a%29.jpg CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/: Sprites: Welias, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sprites-Argentina-2014-02-02.png Lightning Strike: etrhamjr, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Taal_Lightning_Strike_During_Eruption.jpg Animation is created by Bright Side. —————————————————————————————- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru —————————————————————————————- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me
