Lightning from Hurricane Erick, captured by @Astro_Ayers while orbiting Earth aboard the @Space_Station. 🌩
We flew over Hurricane Erick this morning (last night for those on Earth), and I caught some of the lightning in the storm. I shoot these at 120 frames per second, and this bolt of lightning stuck around for over 40 frames!
In these pictures, you can see the clear bolt outline, the flash from the discharge, and then another bolt show up just below it. Our Earth, even when storming, is incredible. 🌎 ⚡View quoted post on X

Storms over Singapore captured by @Astro_Ayers. 🌩
Sometimes we see lightning strikes that illuminate an entire city at once. This is Singapore last night, and that was a huge thunderstorm. It’s hard to believe, but these pictures were taken all in the span of 1/40 of a second!View quoted post on X
Heads up! We’re consolidating our X presence and won’t be posting here anymore. Keep up with astronaut updates at @NASA, @NASA_Johnson, @Space_Station, and our individual accounts at nasa.gov/social-media. 🚀 ✨
