An extremely rare phenomenon was photographed in the sky in New Zealand

The sky sometimes offers breathtaking spectacles, and this was recently the case in New Zealand, when a photographer managed to capture an extremely rare phenomenon. And needless to say that this will also help science in the future.

Thus, if we look at the sky at different times of the day or night, we can see many things. Indeed, whether it is clouds with strange structures or a meteor shower, each observation is different.

But a few days ago, Dan Zafra managed to photograph a very rare phenomenon during the night. While he was observing the night sky and our galaxy, the Milky Way, he took a photo in which we can see red sprites.

If you are unfamiliar with this phenomenon, these are transient luminous events that appear for only a few milliseconds above cumulonimbus and which form between 80 and 145 kilometers in the sky. And it is very difficult, if not impossible, to observe them because they are almost invisible to the naked eye. Moreover, it is impossible to predict when they will appear, which makes this picture unique.

However, while this photo is stunning, scientists could use it to better understand this phenomenon and learn how it forms, because many mysteries surround them as of today.

And to add more visual flair to what's a treat for the eyes already, it appears that an Aurora Australis is present on the left side of these images.
