On July 3rd, astronaut Nichole Ayers photographed a rare Gigantic jet from the ISS. These upward directed electrical discharges extend 90-100 km high into the atmosphere.

I processed this image from the RAW file, adjusting the white balance, contrast and noise reduction.

Photograph taken from the International Space Station by astronaut Nichole Ayers, capturing a rare gigantic jet — an upward lightning discharge shooting from a thunderstorm about 90-100 km high into the upper atmosphere. The jet appears as a vivid purple and blue column of light that finely branches out toward the top where it turns into a vivid red color. It's rising from a brightly illuminated cloud top, surrounded by diffuse city lights from Northern Mexico and South Texas. Behind it is the curved limb of Earth with a green band from the airglow layer indicating the edge of the atmosphere. A portion of the space station’s robotic arm is visible in the foreground.

Last night I woke up at half four for big thunderstorm and was instantly glued to the window 😍


When I was a kid I used to be afraid of the thunder really bad, but with the help of my dad I learned to love and respect it. Nowadays anytime there's a chance to watch nature's light show I gladly enjoy it!


These pictures are actually screenshots of some videos I took last night. It's interesting to see frame by frame how the lightning moves on the sky ⚡

Picture of a sky full of storm clouds. Above the biggest cloud there is vertical lightning branching at the bottom. Sky is light colored and it has some light pink hues.

Cielo spettacolare sopra #Lerici qualche giorno fa

#temporale #thunderstorm #liguria

Foto panoramica di Lerici. In basso gli edifici, case colorate. In fondo a destra si vede il castello. Il cielo è nuovoloso, con nuvole molto scure e forme ondeggianti molto minacciose
