A tropical depression that previously crossed the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (where it's just 216 km from Atlantic to Pacific) is now approaching Baja California as the category 3 hurricane Norma.
#AndreasMogensen on board the International #SpaceStation will try to take photos of electrical discharges above the cumulonimbus clouds. We, the #JediKnights, that is #OlivierChanrion, #YoavYair and myself, will make the forecasts for him!

Satellite image of SE Asia on 9/9 2023, 21:20 local time. Huge cumulonimbus clouds over Vietnam and neighbouring countries.

The Danish astronaut #AndreasMogensen will take photos and videos of blue jets, red sprites and other strange electrical phenomena.

How does he know where and when to point the camera? As the ISS moves at 8 km/s, this is not a trivial task. So forecasts are needed, and my colleagues #OlivierChanrion, #YoavYair and myself (aka the Jedi Knights) are preparing them.
