## Caption

A rare sight in the sky over France! Photographer Florian Riou captured stunning red sprites flashing high above a powerful thunderstorm. ⚡ #shorts #weather #lightning #sprites #france 

A sprite is a large discharge of electricity high in the atmosphere miles above a thunderstorm that can extend almost to the edge of space, which is considered to be around 62 miles above the Earth's surface. These flashes last only milliseconds.
