Rare gigantic jet lightning shooting upward from a thunderstorm toward space as seen from the International Space Station

NASA is once again highlighting an image taken on July 3, 2025, from the ISS that looks like something out of a movie: a “gigantic jet” that doesn’t fall to Earth, but instead shoots out of a storm and rises to a height of nearly 100 kilometers
