Any media of thunderstorms seen from orbit?

[fatal291]

Well I'm looking for videos really, but I guess Images would be ok.. I'm trying to find them of thunderstorms as seen from space. Footage from the Space Station is what I was thinking.. is there such media?

Well I know it exists. Now as to where you can find it, that's a much tougher question...<br /><br />Wait, here's a link link <br /><br />I haven't looked at it yet. Now I have.<br /><br />Most of these are movies, so can't be posted. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

Try shuttle mission STS 34, (October 1989) the Atlantis shuttle mission that launched the Galileo mission <br />to Jupiter.<br /><br />During the mission, after Galileo was sent on her way, the STS 34 crew, carried<br />out research from orbit of thunderstorms & of sprites, elves, etc.<br /><br />They got loads of imagery.<br /><br />I would not think that STS 34 was alone in this.<br /><br />I'll see what I can find.<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

I hope you find more because I would like to see. I am a huge thunderstorm fan on earth and would like to see more of what it looks like from space. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="2" color="#0000ff"><em>William ( deapfreeze ) Hooper</em></font></p><p><font size="1">http://deapfreeze-amateur-astronomy.tk/</font></p><p> </p> </div>

at less than a hundred feet, you're lucky it was just a PIMP <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

I have only had one close lightning encounter and not as close as a 100 feet more like 100-150 meters away. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="2" color="#0000ff"><em>William ( deapfreeze ) Hooper</em></font></p><p><font size="1">http://deapfreeze-amateur-astronomy.tk/</font></p><p> </p> </div>
