It's a "transient luminous event" or TLE that happens above the clouds, in the mesosphere, when there is intense electrical activity from thunderstorms below the clouds.

Science of Weather: Layers in the atmosphere 01:55. There are five major layers in the Atmosphere. Each one of the layers has unique details. Starting from the earth's surface and working our way ...

The science curriculum focuses on sampling night-shining, or noctilucent, clouds, but since the mesosphere is also a prime location for studying global climate change, Reimuller hopes his students ...

In June 2015, a little-known type of aurora cut a Grand-Canyon-size ozone hole in Earth's mesosphere. Scientists have finally assessed the damage. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Journey between Aumsville and the mesosphere. ... That’s what commercial astronaut and actor Pete Freeland recently told students in Katy Ranzoni’s science class at Cascade Junior High School.

It was also first to have been directly observed going into the mesosphere. The results of the study are published today in the journal Science. [Related: Geologists: We’re not ready for volcanoes.] ...
