China photographer captures spectacular red elf lightning in Himalayas

Paulownia Dong Shuchang, a Chinese photographer, photographed a rare atmospheric luminescence event in Tibet’s Himalayas early on May 20.

This phenomenon is quite lovely, and it appears to add mood to the 520 festival, which was inspired by homophonic sounds. feel.

This phenomenon is known as red elf lightning, and it appeared in the middle layer of the atmosphere at the moment, as though jellyfish groups were walking out of the clouds, like a beautifully choreographed fireworks display.

Because this presentation is primarily tied to the electromagnetic waves generated by lightning strikes, it is practically brief and only exists for a few tenths of a second, this photographer is quite fortunate.

 

This phenomenon is known as elf lightning, and red lightning is one of these phenomena, which should be referred to as temporary luminous events in scholarly circles. Although it is termed lightning, this phenomenon, which was just identified in the 1990s, is not the same as typical lightning.

It’s closer to the circumstances for launching aurora, but it’s still not quite the same as regular lightning.

A transitory luminescence event is a name for this phenomenon.

Previously, it was known as upper atmospheric lightning. It happens in the manner described in the preceding name. It’s one of several sorts of discharge events that occur in the upper atmosphere.

It would appear messy to discover a form of transient light phenomenon known as the “upper atmosphere.” Elf lightning is a large-scale electrical discharge that occurs above an active trailing laminar anvil/precipitation area in a high-altitude thunderstorm system.

They are a unique sort of electrical fault. Lightning from red elves appears as a bright red-orange plasma-like flash that lasts a few milliseconds longer than normal. The elves’ red appearance is due to the optical fluorescence of neutral molecular nitrogen in the air, according to spectroscopic tests.
