NOVA takes viewers on a spectacular exploration to probe the earth-space boundary zone, home to some of nature’s most puzzling and alluring phenomena: the shimmering aurora, streaking meteors and sprites, fleeting flashes that shoot upwards from thunderclouds. NOVA rides with scientists in a high-flying weather observation plane as they hunt for sprites and finally succeed in snaring them in 3-D video, gaining vital clues to unravel their mystery. Premieres on PBS Wednesday, Nov. 20, at 8pm ET (check local listings).
