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 second Geostationary Lightning Mapper to ever reach orbit has shared its first images. This initial imagery from NOAA’s recently launched #GOES17 satellite captures a line of severe storms over the Plains. See the full video: https://t.co/vG1UNhouIH pic.twitter.com/RC2bsbYVGr
