Translation

On the night of July 26, a red light appeared in the sky over Kanagawa Prefecture.

Its shape looked like a jellyfish, and that became a talking point.

This is a rare light called a "sprite".

When strong lightning strikes, it appears far above the clouds.

Because it is visible for only a short time, photographing it is difficult.

A person in the city of Hiratsuka took this photo.

Why six school grades, and not N5–N1?

Because that is how Japanese children learn to read. Japan's Ministry of Education fixes exactly which character belongs to which grade — so "grade 3" is a boundary you can verify, not a feeling. Every article here is machine-checked: if a single character sits above its grade, it is not published.

The result: you never hit a character you have not learned. That is the whole reason this product exists.
