Earth Lightning Storms: 'Silent' Orbital View | International Space Station

Expedition 73 Flight Engineer and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Astronaut Kimiya Yui: "After work, I tried filming lightning videos, but since I couldn't accurately predict when and where it would occur, it was quite difficult lol."

"Next time, I'll practice a bit more and introduce it once I've gotten better."

"Even when lightning flashes, we can't hear its sound, which is a big difference from the ground."
