You may have looked at lightning storms or been lucky enough to witness the incredible light show of the auroras. Thanks to satellites fitted with highly-sensitive camera technology, we can now see events high up in Earth’s atmosphere that we could never watch before.

Check out the video below and witness all sorts of Sprites and other stunning storms never seen before.
