Particularly intense lightning discharges can produce transient luminous events above thunderclouds, termed sprites, elves and jets. These short lived optical emissions in the mesosphere can reach from the tops of thunderclouds up to the ionosphere; they provide direct evidence of coupling from the lower atmosphere to the upper atmosphere. Sprites are arguably the most dramatic recent discovery in solar-terrestrial physics. Shortly after the first ground based video recordings of sprites, observations on board the Space Shuttle detected sprites and elves occurring all around the world. These reports led to detailed sprite observations in North America, South America, Australia, Japan, and Europe. Subsequently, sprites were detected from other space platforms such as the International Space Station and the ROCSAT satellite. During the past 15 years, more than 200 contributions on sprites have been published in the scientific literature to document this rapidly evolving new research area.

When an Aussie bushland sprite collides with Santa's nephew on a sunny, isolated Australian beach, the sand won't be the only thing that scorches! Having decided his uncle is due for a break, Santa's nephew, Nick, takes on the job of delivering presents and heads straight for the sun–drenched beaches of Australia. After a cataclysmic sleigh disaster with a low–flying Qantas airbus, Nick finds himself rounding up reindeer on an isolated coastal stretch. When all seems lost – including Rudolph – Nick stumbles upon Chrissie, a woman just as mysterious as he. Chrissie is an Australian bushland sprite, sent after Nick by his uncle. Santa has made his own decision – it's time for his nephew to settle down, and Chrissie's just the sprite to fill his empty heart. Christmas is always hot in Australia, but this year, things are really heating up!
