  Rare ‘Double’ Lightning Phenomena With Massive Red Rings Light Up the Alps

  For a brief moment last year, northern Italy's night sky offered a spectacle rarely seen in a lifetime. From his home in Possagno, nestled in the Alps, photographer Valter Binotto captured an image showing two of Earth's rarest lightning phenomena occurring at the same time. Elves and sprites are forms of Transient Luminous Events (TLEs), which fla...

  Mysterious 1950s Sky Flashes Re-Examined in New Astronomical Study

  Thousands of unexplained sky flashes captured in 1950s Palomar Observatory photos are being reanalysed. Scientists suspect they may have resulted from sunlight reflecting off early satellites or atmospheric changes after nuclear tests, which increased flash rates by up to 68%. Still, photographic artifacts remain a possible explanation.
