What a pair of sprites
I am fascinated by the poorly understood aerial electrical phenomena known as elves and sprites that form when charged plasma shoots way up to the edge of space above powerful thunderstorms. Some months ago we published the best shot we’d seen, but the latest expedition aboard the orbiting Space Station captured one that rivals any I’ve seen yet. The first obvious feature that we see above the blurred glowing lights of Southern Mexico and smudgy clouds is the glowing band of airglow surrounding the planet, another electrical phenomenon that looks like a weak aurora that we have covered several times before at http://on.fb.me/1xek96Z (with a complete explanation), http://on.fb.me/1MC62j0 and http://on.fb.me/1MHXjgP. Above the centre of the photo the brightly glowing moon and the constellation of Orion glow in the sky.
And then to the right, a bright glowing red jet of plasma is shimmering above a huge lightning burst on the ground. They are elusive from the ground, and careful observation of distant storm fronts and aeroplane flights are your best chance of glimpsing them. The second photo is part of a film taken from the ground in 2013.

Scientists are training dogs to sniff out cancer cells in urine, to develop an 'electronic nose' that could detect cancer more effectively.
Adorable! #cuteness “Cute animal video of the day: watch this baby elephant play with a flock of butterflies for the first time.”
