Blue jet above the Earth
For the first time ever, an image has been captured of an elusive electrical phenomenon above the Earth.
An astronaut aboard the International Space Station imaged a kind of electrical discharge in the upper atmosphere known as a blue jet.
In this Space News, Thunderbolts explore why this type of intense above clouds lightning occurs, and we also ask a fundamental question: do scientists understanding lightning?

Nothing new here.
Zeus, a sun god, has the lightning and the thunder in his command.
Only he can use them as he wishes.
Αιθηρ =ether, the 5th element is, I believe, the answer to some of the
bewilderment in this video.
Look up Aristotle on Ether.
