Amazing view from space of lightning storms over Africa (VIDEO)

Posted on January 21, 2012 under Editor's Choice

This is a rare (video) filmed by NASA from the International Space Station that shows the Milky Way and lightning storms over Africa.

The Milky Way is what shows as a glow of white light at the beginning of the video. The other flashes of light are lightning storms shown over parts of Africa as the space station flies over.
