Red Sprite

 I always thought 'Sprite' was clear. Clear as in no color whatsoever. Well and except for the carbonation bubbles. The carbonation bubbles are colorless by the by. The 'sprite' I reference here is the soda pop. Well ... an astronaut aboard the ISS (International Space Station) has managed to capture an image of a 'red sprite' hanging gracefully above our Planet Earth. Astronaut's name would be Andreas Morgensen and the astronaut guys and gals of course aboard the ISS, are taking photos of different this's and thats from high above the ground. Certainly a different perspective. Neither you nor I will mostly likely never get a chance to photo a 'red sprite' from Earth orbit. So what science is calling those 'red sprites' are scientifically known as "transient luminous events" and I did not know that. Here is a screen grab shot of the now internationally famous 'red sprite' -

Aboard the ISS you can get a bird's eye view of our Planet and all the misery being enjoyed by humans and all our Planet's flora and fauna. There is enough horrific shit happening at present, that crap can be seen from space. The astronauts are privileged to be able to see things that I can only imagine. You see I'm still waiting for those flying cars that we were promised a way back in the day. Waiting still ... is that some miserable bullshit or what.

our United States of America disgraced itself at a Friday session of the United Nations Security Council. America's ambassador blocked Article 99 from being implemented. Article 99 is a milquetoast diplomatic maneuver used by the U.N. SecGen to attempt to get the Security Council to actually do something, anything, to calm a festering world situation. this instance is the Israeli collective punishment and extermination of Palestinians. jee ... zuz key ... ryst ... 😐
