Astronaut Jeanette Epps captured this incredible sequence on July 20th, 2024 as part of the DTU/ESA Thor-Davis experiment.

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.

[VIDÉO] ▶️ Une astronaute de la Nasa a photographié des éclairs rouges et bleus depuis la Station spatiale internationale. Ce phénomène électromagnétique ne dure qu’une milliseconde à peine, si bien qu'il est la plupart du temps invisible à l'œil nu. - "Waouh !" : quand une astronaute capture depuis l'ISS un éclair qui jaillit au-dessus des nuages (Sciences).
