Záblesky

Záblesky is a Czech word that translates to "flashes" or "glints" in English. It refers to brief, sudden appearances of light. This can encompass a variety of phenomena, both natural and artificial. In meteorology, záblesky can describe lightning flashes during thunderstorms, the intense, momentary illumination in the sky. It can also refer to the glint of sunlight reflected off surfaces such as water, glass, or metal, especially when observed from a distance or in passing. In a more abstract sense, záblesky can denote fleeting moments of insight or inspiration, sudden bursts of understanding that illuminate a problem or idea. The term is also used in photography to describe the brief illumination provided by a camera flash. The context in which záblesky is used determines its precise meaning, but the core concept remains a sudden, transient visual event.
