“Gigantic Jet Lightning from Puerto Rico” is copyrighted by Frankie Lucena. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis image captures a gigantic jet, a rare form of lightning that extends from thunderstorms into Earth's ionosphere. Documented only this century, these powerful discharges are much different from regular cloud-to-cloud lightning. This particular jet was photographed from Puerto Rico, reaching an altitude of about 70 kilometers in less than a second.
