Photographers in China captured the Lightning Elf, and the viewers were very lucky. What happened?

Shooting the' Red Elf' in Gaopo Genting was purely unintentional. It was originally to shoot the starry sky. "On May 10, celebrity photographer Aaron said in an interview. Aaron filmed the "Red Elf" in Genting, Gaopo, Guiyang, and filmed the starry sky all night. When he went home to sort out the information, he found that he had photographed the spectacle of "Red Elf" at 1: 23 in the morning.

After he sent the video to the Tik Tok platform, he liked it more than 1 1 128000. It is reported that the "Red Elf" is a phenomenon of high-altitude atmospheric discharge accompanied by thunderstorms, which usually occurs at a height of about 30 to 90 kilometers from the ground at the top of thunderstorm clouds. The top of the "red elf" is red, and the bottom gradually turns blue. It's about five to ten kilometers wide and lasts about ten to one hundred milliseconds, just like lightning.

"The Red Elf is invisible to the naked eye and can only be captured by highly sensitive machines. I also found it when I went home to sort out the information. I am very excited. " Aaron said. Aaron, a 25-year-old railway worker, has been "chasing the stars" for three years. Every time he sees that the weather is fine and suitable for shooting the starry sky, he asks his friends to take pictures together.

Aaron made an appointment with a friend to shoot Fan Jingshan's orbit. Because the shooting location is in the scenic spot, it is not open at night, so they also contacted the relevant local departments in advance and got permission before entering. Aaron set off early with a camera weighing dozens of pounds, a tripod and some dry food, and arrived at the mushroom stone observation deck in Fanjingshan before noon. "When we are finished, the scenic spot will be closed and we can't go down the mountain. Everyone stayed on Fan Jingshan all night and went down at dawn. " Aaron said.

Bian Xiao will give you an overview of the precautions when it thunders. You should write down the general principles of safety. Don't stay in high places, look for buildings with lightning protection measures to avoid. If there are no buildings around to hide, find a low-lying place to squat, put your feet together, bow your head and keep your head as low as possible.

Bian Xiao wants to remind everyone to remember! Don't stay at the top of the mountain or on the roof, don't be close to metal objects, such as high-voltage lines, iron bars and railings, don't hide under isolated trees, and it's best not to use household appliances such as mobile phones, which may conduct electricity. Be sure to turn off the power supply at home in time, try to avoid power lines and telephone lines, don't stand under light bulbs, and finally stay away from metal products.
