Scientists have a look at it that it causes a strange electrical phenomenon known as Blue Jet Lightning. The instruments on the International Space Station did what was impossible for scientists on the ground. Per science news breakdowns, blue jets – which push electric clouds upward into the stratosphere, not below the ground – have been seen by scientists and pilots for years, but see the uppermost view of electric clouds It was difficult without reason or source. As most pilots will tell you, flying through an active thunder cloud is not ideal unless it is absolutely necessary.
The blue jet gets its name from its color, and it gets from its color that burns in the atmosphere. Traditional electricity is interacting with a wide variety of gases on their way to the ground, but the upward movement of the blue jet means that the electric bolt is mostly burning nitrogen, which burns the blue at that temperature.
According to Science News, blue jets can reach a height of about 31 miles (50 kilometers) in less than a second.
Scientists have finally gotten a clear view of the spark that sets off an alien type of electric wire called a blue jet.
The space station last week spotted a blue-colored jet, which emerged from a lightning bombardment, which occurred with a thunderous thunder. Scientists reported the discovery on 20 January.
While blue jets and other upper atmosphere weather events are unlikely to cause serious injury to people or animals, scientists monitor and study them not only for academic understanding of the natural world, but also for more practical reasons; How such events affect radio waves can affect satellites and other communications technology.
Scientists are trying to find out what can be special about the spark that produces the blue jet. The explosion was recorded in January – and was recorded in February 2019 – with a 10-microsecond flash of bright blue light, which occurred near the top of the cloud about 10 miles above.
Torsten Neubert, an atmospheric physicist at the Technical University of Denmark quoted in the science newspaper of Kongens Lingby, suspects that a unique type of short-range electric discharge may occur inside the spark cloud. This will account for the brief, intense explosion, as conventional lightning discharges between oppositely charged objects at distances of several kilometers, these short duration sparks can bring opposing-charged areas within about one kilometer , Which destroys the electric current. Evidence of such explosions above the boom is not new, but it may provide new insights into the phenomenon.
