Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted November 9, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted November 9, 2020 Quote Sprites A ‘Jellyfish’ Sprite captured by Stephen Hummel at Mt. Locke Texas, 2 July 2020 Stephen Hummel Unlike what we would regard as ‘normal’ lighting, Sprites occur way up in the Earth’s atmosphere at about 50 to 90 kilometres above us, so images of them are rarely captured. Sprites are a kind of cold plasma discharge that occurs above a thundercloud as nature’s way of balancing out the positive lightning charges are released between the thundercloud and the ground below. The spread of artificial lights at night is making it more difficult to see and study faint objects such as sprites, but better lighting techniques can help keep light on the ground and out of the sky. Twin Tornadoes Two tornadoes touch down simultaneously in the plains of eastern Colorado, USA, 29 May 2018 Alamy Twin tornadoes are incredibly rare, and you can be waiting 10 to 15 years between each one, so a good reason why they have made this list. A twin tornado forms from the same storm supercell, so the storm has to be very violent for a twin to form. It is thought that two funnels can be visible during a cross-over period, where a new tornado forms as the old one dies out. It can also occur when one funnel is so strong that another, a less powerful funnel can form from the vortices being generated by the first. Two tornadoes descend from a supercell near Dodge City, Kansas, 24 May 2016 Ryan McGinnis / Alamy Fallstreak holes Fallstreak holes in altocumulus clouds photographed in Arizona USA, 31 March 2020 Alamy Also known as a hole punch cloud or cloud canal, a Fallstreak hole can form inside cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds. These holes are thought to appear when the water temperature in the clouds is freezing but hasn’t formed ice. When ice crystals do form (which can be helped by things like a passing plane), it sets off a chain reaction with can led to water droplets evaporating and leaving a massive hole behind. Because of their strange appearance and rarity, their formation has been known to be incorrectly blamed on unidentified flying objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 6, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted December 6, 2020 A woman looks at the destruction in Haulover, in the Northern Caribbean Autonomous Region, Nicaragua, on November 28, 2020. The passage of Hurricanes Eta and Iota left at least 200 confirmed dead and as many missing as they smashed homes, uprooted trees, and swamped roads during their destructive advance across several Central American countries.

The radio telescope in Puerto Rico, which once appeared in a James Bond film, collapsed Tuesday when its 900-ton receiver platform fell 450 feet and smashed onto the radio dish below. Ricardo Arduengo / Getty Images A rescue mission worker inspects an opening where artisanal miners are trapped on December 2, 2020, in Bindura, Zimbabwe. At least 10 people were trapped when the shaft of an artisanal gold mine collapsed here last week. Rescue efforts were slowed by rain and only one body had been retrieved by Monday. A group representing small-scale miners estimated as many as 40 people were trapped, but determining the real number is difficult due to the informal nature of artisanal mining.
