    Extraordinary event:
    > brilliantly-colorful electric fireworks detonate much higher, in the thin air up to 55 miles overhead, easily seen from the ISS.

    >These brief spectacles – blue jets, red sprites, violet halos, ultraviolet rings – are collectively known as transient luminous events, or TLEs.

    Are we absolutely CERTAIN we need to deorbit the only permanent human scientific outpost in space? This sort of improvisational observation cannot be done without it.Â
