Satellite records stunning lightening from space video

Washington : America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released a stunning video of lightening strikes from the space. The visuals are just stunning to watch out.

In a short clip, flashes of lights can be seen amid clouds over North and South America. 

"NOAA GOES-17 satellite has transmitted its first Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) data. This GLM data in this animation shows storms quickly intensifying and forming into an impressive line across the U.S. Plains on May 9, 2018," explains the official website.

The video clip was shared by NOAA on May 21. It has received over 1400 likes and over 600 retweets.

In early 2016, British astronaut Tim Peake posted a gorgeous time-lapse showing lightning from space. "Amazing how much lightning can strike our planet in a short time," he had tweeted then.
