Gigantic jets are an unusual type of lightning that are different from the regular cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning.
(X/@apod)A rare lightning event shared by NASA’s Astronomy of the Day last week showed gigantic jets shooting up from a thunderstorm towards the Himalayas in China Bhutan.
The four long jets that occurred within a span of minutes depicted an unusual type of lightning that is different from regular cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning.
This lightning discharge, only recorded in the 21st century, occurs between some thunderstorms and the Earth’s ionosphere.
