“Sprite” over USA/ Mexico from the International Space Station, astro_Pettit

Sprites are TLEs or Transient Luminous Events, that happen above the clouds and are triggered by intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below. We have a great view above the clouds, so scientists can use these types of pictures to better understand the formation, characteristics, and relationship of TLEs to thunderstorms.

This shot was taken with a Nikon Z9 using a 50mm lens (f/1.2, ¼ sec, ISO 6400) as part of a time-lapse I set up in the Cupola. Like @astro_pettit said, it takes planning, timing, and a lot of pictures to capture such a rare phenomenon. 📸 Astro_Ayers

In this photo, the storm appears to be hovering near the Texas–Mexico border. You can spot the glow of Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston to the northeast, and Torreón, Mexico, to the southwest.

"Plan your visit to see the 'Preston Singletary: Tlingit Modernism' exhibit opening at the @douglasreynoldsgallery in Vancouver. BC. on October 21st, and on view until November 18th, 2023."

"Get a sneak peek and view the exhibition catalog."

I did not make this video but shared it after it was shared with me. It has uplifted many who watch it, just as it did for me.

Hehehehe BOO-bee hehehe
