Strange purple lightning on the cloud in Australia

A photographer captures a strange purple lightning image shot from the top of a thundercloud in Australia.

Photographer Jeff Miles recorded a purple lightning image on top of a cloud near the small town of Pilbara, western Australia, on March 28, according to Sun. The lightning has a striking color on the deep blue sky turning at night.

This rare phenomenon is called ionosphere lightning (ionospheric lightning) . This type of clay often forms in thunderclouds causing heavy rain, and it has a much higher height than ordinary lightning.

"The giant ionosphere lightning was only taken with the camera a few times, and tonight I was lucky to see 6 lightning bolts ," Miles said.

The Earth's atmosphere still contains many mysteries. Some natural phenomena happen here so strangely that many scientists aren't even sure they exist.

Earlier this year, an astronaut from the European Space Agency (ESA) filmed a video of red-shaped deformed lightning (red sprite) and blue heterogeneous lightning (blue jet) in Earth's atmosphere.

Andreas Mogensen, the Danish cosmologist, uses the ultra-sensitive camera of the International Space Station (ISS) to record the blue flashes several kilometers above a thunderstorm in Biscay Bay.
