And by all accounts, Red Sprites do not disappoint. <\/p>\n<p>They are a recently discovered form of atmospheric lightning and their discovery is so important that one researcher exclaimed it was as if Biology had just suddenly discovered a new human body part.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday you can see a film about the Red Sprites and hear a lecture by the film\u2019s creator Peter McLeish.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kalender.ku.dk\/begivenheder\/redsprites\/\" target=\"_blank\">See more about the event here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Red sprites are upper atmospheric optical phenomena associated with thunderstorms, that have just recently been documented using low level television. <\/p>\n<p>The first images of a sprite were taken in 1989, and from 1990 to 1994 space shuttles obtained twenty more images.<\/p>\n<h2>Faster than the blink of an eye<\/h2>\n<p>Despite a number of anecdotal reports from airline pilots, most scientists didn’t really believe in sprites until the first images were captured on high-speed video. <\/p>\n<p>The blink of an eye last 250 milliseconds: sprites often last only ten. Cameras and computer models freeze sprites in time. <\/p>\n<h2>Involving the public<\/h2>\n<p><em>The hundred year hunt for the Red Sprite<\/em> is a 42 minute film by Peter McLeish which documents one of the most unexpected scientific findings in the atmosphere during the late 20th century. <\/p>\n<p>This program shows how the public can become engaged in the search for new thunderstorm-related electrical phenomena. This film also discusses aspects of astronomy, space science and meteorology. <\/p>\n<h2>Combining art and science<\/h2>\n<p>Peter McLeish is a painter, multi-media artist and film maker with a Master’s of Fine Arts degree. He has been developing work and research on science based themes since the late 1990’s. He believes it is important to promote unity, between art and science in order to create a better understanding of the natural world.<\/p>\n<p>The film will be shown on Monday 11 January 2010 19.30 to 22.00 at the auditorium of the <a href=\"http:\/\/geologi.snm.ku.dk\/english\/\" target=\"_blank\">Geological Museum.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sky-fire.tv\/index.cgi\/INDEX.HTML\" target=\"_blank\">See Peter McLeish\u2019s website here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>luci@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":43,"name":"Culture","slug":"culture","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":43,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":562,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11485,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/RedSprite.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23582"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23582\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39590,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23582\/revisions\/39590"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
