ISS Captures Rare Gigantic Jet, a Massive Upward Lightning Over New Orleans
A newly released image taken from the ISS captures a rare gigantic jet of lightning extending over 50 miles above New Orleans. The photo, dated November 19, 2024, was discovered in the Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth database. These rare upward-shooting discharges occur when storm cloud charge layers invert, propelling energy skyward. The...

Massive Thunderstorms on Jupiter Could Change Its Colour and Appearance
Recent images of Jupiter reveal giant thunderstorms in the Southern Equatorial Belt. Reports suggest these storms, unleashing green lightning, could blend pale hues into the reddish-brown band, potentially causing it to vanish, as observed in prior events. Jupiter's storms remain visible for stargazers as it approaches Earth at its closest point.
