Title: High Speed Video of Sprite over NebraskaConcept: A halo followed by a spriteDetail: Images from a special, high resolution 1000 fps sensor, developed by Prof. Hans Stenbaek-Nielsen, Geophysical Institute of Alaska-Fairbanks, is used to construct a (false) color animation of a huge sprite above a mesoscale convective complex in Nebraska during the summer of 1999.
