Decoding the Enigma of Atmospheric Ghosts: Scientists Reveal Surprising Findings

Scientists have discovered a possible explanation for the mysterious "atmospheric ghosts" phenomenon, which are green afterglows that appear above thunderstorm clouds. Using a special instrument called the Granada Sprite Spectrograph and Polarimeter (GRASSP), researchers found evidence of oxygen and iron in the composition of these ghosts. The presence of iron at lower altitudes than expected suggests that thunder or gravity waves may be disrupting its usual position. Further observations are needed to gain a clearer understanding of this phenomenon.
