Astronauts captured a rare image of a giant red sprite over Central America

Astronauts captured a rare image of a giant red sprite over Central America

An astronaut took a beautiful photo of Earth at night, below, while flying over Central America in the International Space Station.

The moon is in the upper left, and a massive thunderstorm off to the right.

But there’s something weird lurking in this image, captured on August 10.

Can you spot it?
