NASA ScienceCasts: Observing Lightning from the International Space StationbyScienceAtNASAonYouTube Pogue asked, "Is there any practical value for mapping the lightning and how it happens? Or is it just kind of neat?" "We know that [often] lightning will ramp up as a precursor to severe we...
An unknown astronaut captured a rare type of upper-atmospheric lightning known as a gigantic jet from the International Space Station in November. A lightning chaser has spotted a gigantic jet in a photo taken from onboard the International Space Station (ISS). Only a handful of images of this...
Sensitive storm-chasing equipment on the International Space Station caught a dazzling light show on video as it watched the electrical activity of a thunderstorm from above. The recordings, which were captured by the European Space Agency's Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM), help reveal...
NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick photographed rare red lightning sprites high above Earth’s upper atmosphere from the International Space Station (ISS). The lesser-seen red lights are an elusive form of lightning that is discharged into the upper atmosphere. Scientists still don’t fully understand ...
A sensor installed on theInternational Space Stationis yielding fresh insights into the global distribution of lightning. Satellite data from the ISS LIS has enriched our global understanding of lightning, revealing extensive megaflashes and providing new data for climate research. Improved mapp...
A new NASA map reveals how many times you can expect to see lightning flashes from wherever you live on the planet. It has also pinpointed a new lightning capital for the world. Attached to the outside of th...
This image of lightning over Kuwait was taken by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station on Dec. 12, 2013. (Image credit: NASA Earth Observatory) This stunning image of a lightning strike over Kuwait was captured last December by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station ...
We analyze a nighttime negative cloud-to-ground lightning flash in Colombia observed from the ground with a high-speed camera at 5,000 images per second and from space by the Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) on the International Space Station (ISS), the Lightning Imaging Sensor also...
Lightning can also tilt, which allows him to take turns sharper, as well as squeeze by opponents, which he once did in a Piston Cup race, where he used the wall to squeeze through the space between it and another racer. He can also jump, which allows him to hop over obstacles and ...
