Rare Blue Jet Lightning Seen from Space | 8K Timelapse from the ISS (Jun 13, 2025)

Описание: Visible at 1:34 – Witness an extraordinary moment from orbit: a rare burst of Blue Jet Lightning, filmed in 8K timelapse from the International Space Station (ISS) on June 13, 2025. Unlike standard lightning that flashes downward, blue jets shoot upward from storm clouds, sending brilliant blue light and faint red tendrils deep into the upper atmosphere.

This clip highlights the stunning world of Transient Luminous Events (TLEs)—including sprites, elves, and blue jets—phenomena usually hidden from viewers on Earth but visible to astronauts soaring 400 km above the surface. Alongside these rare lightning events, the video also captures beautiful auroras shimmering across the horizon, adding an extra layer of magic to the scene.

Recorded in Ultra HD 8K, this timelapse showcases storms, lightning, and auroral activity from space with exceptional clarity—revealing the dynamic and electrifying behavior of Earth’s atmosphere.

🌍 Captured from the International Space Station as it orbits above Earth.
