Description

Recently, the sunny weather in Lijiang for more than a week has provided excellent conditions for star watching in summer. At 23:24 and 27 on the night of August 7, I caught the huge jet phenomenon (two rare high-altitude atmospheric discharges) with the meteor monitoring camera of Lijiang twin observatory.

Giant jet is a rare atmospheric discharge phenomenon, which belongs to a kind of transient luminous event. General lightning is formed by discharging from clouds to the ground, but the huge jet discharges in the opposite direction, that is, from the ground to the high altitude. The current thunderbolt 50-70 kilometers upward from the ground, bright color and changeable shape.
