Sprites are optical phenomena that occur above thunderstorms in a part of the ionosphere just above the dense lower atmosphere, about 37 to 56 miles above the Earth.
Using 3D models, researchers are closer to connecting genetics with facial features, and eventually they hope to predict facial features from DNA evidence.
