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.

You may have seen pictures, but have you ever seen video of a Gigantic Jet #TLE from space?
Astronaut Jeanette Epps captured this incredible sequence on July 20th, 2024 as part of the DTU/ESA Thor-Davis experiment.

St-They (Cléden), a chapel directly on the cliffs of Cape Pointe du Van, Brittany
When I want to capture both a dramatic landscape and a dramatic sky in a photo, I sometimes find it difficult to decide which part of the image to focus on. When there's lightning, it's even harder. Here, I opted for the "safe" part, the rocky coast, but I was lucky enough to just barely catch a flash of lightning.

‘Orca WA007 joyfully leaps out of the Bremer Canyon after devouring a Cuvier’s beaked whale, her prey’s intestines subtly hanging from her mouth like a festive decoration. Around 300 of these mammal-hunting orcas have been recorded in this remote Southern Ocean hotspot, with unfolding research suggesting they may be their own ecotype.’ Noongar country, Southern Ocean, off Bremer Bay, Western Australia.

Storm/lightning experts, I need your help! What is this phenomenon?
A bolt of lightning is slowly moving across the sky. Each frame of this video slideshow is 8 seconds, so the lightning is visible for over a minute! I've never seen anything like it!

Finally going through the shots from my Arches trip. This is from a nearby arch were I took cover as storms passed overhead. (Not safe! Caves aren't safe! I know! But neither is being anywhere on a ridgetop in a thunderstorm, so I might as well stay dry before getting zapped.)

Study co-led by ICN2 reveals that #ice is a #flexoelectric material meaning it can produce #electricity when unevenly deformed. Published in Nature Physics, this discovery could have major technological implications while also shedding light on natural phenomena such as #lightning. Frozen water is one of the most abundant substances on #Earth. It is found in #glaciers, on #mountain peaks and in #polar ice caps. https://phys.org/news/2025-09-scientists-ice-generates-electricity-bent.html

Spent a few days in Cologne with dear friends and visited some spots on the way there (Rhine/Moselle area with focus on history and architecture). This is a lucky shot from an evening stroll in Cochem. Was worth getting drenched through to the bone 5 minutes later.

‘I love the raw power and beauty of storms. Watching this severe storm making its way to me, I was filled with excitement and anticipation. To capture the only CG (cloud-to-ground) bolt to come from this amazing shelf cloud was absolute bliss. Once again, thank you Mother Nature!’ Kabi Kabi country, Kings Beach, Queensland.
