PIX4674923: Sprite and Thunderstorm seen from Space - Red Sprites and Thunderstorm seen from space: A sprite (upper left, in the atmosphere) seen from the International Space Station (ISS) in August 2015. This electric discharge rises 100 km above the surface of the Earth - The Moon is the bright spot in the sky, to the right of the sprite. Lights from Dallas, Texas appear in the foreground - This photo shows the spring's tendrils reaching as much as 100 kilometers above Earth's surface. Sprites are major electrical discharges, but they are not lightning in the usual sense. Instead, they are a cold plasma phenomenon without the extremely hot temperatures of lightning that we see underneath thunderstorms. Red sprites are more like the discharge of a fluorescent tube. Bursts of sprite energy are thought to occur during most large thunderstorm events. They were first photographed in 1989 / Bridgeman Images

PIX4673314: Chesapeake Bay - USA - Chesapeake Bay seen from space - Chesapeake Bay on the eastern coast of the United States houses an impact crater about 80 km in diameter buried more than 300 metres deep. This crater, dating back to 35.5 million years, was discovered in 1983. Mosaic of six photographs obtained by the Landsat-5 satellite between 2009 and 2011. In 1983 the largest impact crater of the United states of America has been discovered there. With a diameter of 80 km, this 35.5 million year - old crater is buried more than 300 meters beneath the lower part of the bay. Mosaic of six Landsat 5 images collected in July 2009 and 2011.The Washington D.C. - Baltimore - Philadelphia - New York City corridor can be clearly seen (look for silvery purple) as can the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays and the coastal Atlantic barrier islands from Fishermans Island, Virginia to Sandy Hook, New Jersey / Bridgeman Images
LBY4673540: Residence le Sophora, Le Bois lives, in ZAC Euralille 2, in Lille (Nord). Architect Philippe Dubus, realisation 2003- 2006. Located close to the peripheral motorway, the first housing projects of the Bois Habite are out. In a very vegetalised environment, in the form of superimposed houses, this new, fairly dense area will nevertheless offer typologies close to individual housing.
