A rare form of atmospheric phenomena known as a Transient Luminous Event (TLE) was successfully captured in imagery obtained during a recent experiment aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

The observations were made as a part of the Thor-Davis experiment, an effort designed to observe storm phenomena in the upper atmosphere and their relationship to the accumulation of greenhouse gasses.

The Thor-Davis experiment is a research project that studies storm dynamics from space. The experiment aims to understand how high-altitude lightning affects atmospheric chemistry, particularly greenhouse gas concentrations.
