European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andreas Mogensen has captured images of rare thunder phenomena from the International Space Station as part of the Thor-Davis experiment on his Huginn mission. "Andreas managed to capture a red sprite, a thunderous phenomenon called Transient Luminous Event (TLE), that takes place above thunderclouds, between 40 and 80 kilometres over the ground," ESA said.
