  1. You may have seen pictures, but have you ever seen video of a Gigantic Jet from space?

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

  2. 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.

  3. #Sprites above storms over the SE of England captured on our #RaspberyPi #GMN #MeteorCameras in #Oxfordshire 180km away from the storms. Sprites are a type of upper atmospheric #TransientLuminousEvent that occur very high above thunderstorms. We had some lucky cloud gaps giving us a clear sight of them! #TLE #Thunderstorm #UKStorm
