Snow moon from Oxford, Ohio - 1 February 2016. First three pics taken with my camera. 📷 #NikonP950
Full moon in a black sky. Full moon in a black sky. Full moon in a black sky. Moonlight casting shadows from a bare maple tree in the snow. A cleared sidewalk leads away from the point of view of the photographer. Houses in a residential street are in the background.

It looks like an impact but the circle is created by the natural flow limit.
It can be found west of Lake #Michigan and it is particularly easy to recognize in the snow-covered state.

#Artemis II rocket at launch pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in this slightly oblique 1600-mm image taken by astronaut Chris Williams from space station #ISS on 24 January 2026. Original eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... @daveatcogs.bsky.social @cosmos4u.bsky.social
The image shows a stretch of land at left and sea with thin clouds over it at right. Along the coast running from bottom centre to upper left are two launch pads and roads. The upper of the two pad, left of centre, is where the Artemis II rocket and its launch tower are. They throw a shadow upwards in the image.

In Sept. of 2023, I witnessed what was in my eyes the perfect storm. This intricately-structured, highly-electric supercell danced under a sky full of stars, looming over the landscape like the Mind Flayer while producing multiple funnels, bursts of sprites, and a barrage of lightning. #Photography
A photo of a dramatic supercell thunderstorm with a many-layered, rotating structure that is illuminated by multiple bright lightning strikes. The foreground includes a rural landscape with a dirt road, fence, and green trees/grass. Beside the storm is a crisp, clear night sky with stars shining.

Here is another incredible photo captured from the ISS last year showing a gigantic jet over Mexico.
stim3on.bsky.social Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · Jul 19
On July 3rd, astronaut Nichole Ayers photographed a rare Gigantic jet from the ISS. These upward directed electrical discharges extend 90-100 km high into the atmosphere.

I processed this image from the RAW file, adjusting the white balance, contrast and noise reduction.

Photograph taken from the International Space Station by astronaut Nichole Ayers, capturing a rare gigantic jet — an upward lightning discharge shooting from a thunderstorm about 90-100 km high into the upper atmosphere. The jet appears as a vivid purple and blue column of light that finely branches out toward the top where it turns into a vivid red color. It's rising from a brightly illuminated cloud top, surrounded by diffuse city lights from Northern Mexico and South Texas. Behind it is the curved limb of Earth with a green band from the airglow layer indicating the edge of the atmosphere. A portion of the space station’s robotic arm is visible in the foreground.

You may have seen pictures, but have you ever seen video of a gigantic jet #TLE from space?

Astronaut Jeanette Epps captured this incredible sequence on July 20th, 2024 for the DTU/@science.esa.int Thor-Davis experiment. 🧪🔭
