Tim Peake: British astronaut posts incredible time-lapse video of lightning storm over Earth

The 34-second clip, posted to Twitter, was taken while the ISS was flying over North Africa and Turkey towards Russia. The footage shows a series of small blue flashes erupting over the planet as a lighting storm hits the region. Underneath the video, the 43-year-old former army major stated, "Amazing how much lightning can strike our planet in a short time". This footage is the latest in a number of videos that Peake has posted while on board the ISS, previously showing how he conducts day-to-day tasks in space such as playing ping pong, having a shower, making a coffee and going to the toilet.

He conducted a space walk on 15 January to replace a failed voltage regulator that compromised one of the station's eight power channels, but it was cut when fellow astronaut Tim Kopra reported a leak in his spacesuit helmet. #StormHour (@StormHour) Red-aurora-borealis.

Vladimir Chuprikov: Russian Winter Photos

He took these pictures near the town of Perm in Russia. Just so you know, Perm is in the Urals. The pictures look made up and too good to be true but I promise you they’re bona fide… I mean he might have mucked about with the colours or whatever but that’s par for the course ain’t it.
