Thunderstorms in space holds climate informationTue 27 Mar 2018, 13:53From it's position at ISS 400 km above the Earth ASIM will look into phenomena in the atmosphere powered by thunderstorms. ASIM will both survey thunderstorms and lightning above the clouds and the processes that power them. In this way new knowledge can be obtained about both this phenomena and climate related processes in the atmosphere. Picture: DTU Space/NASA |

A space window to electrifying scienceMon 26 Mar 2018, 14:30Lightning triggers powerful electrical bursts in Earth’s atmosphere almost every second. The inner workings of these magnificent forces of nature are still unknown, but a rare observation by an ESA astronaut gave a boost to the science community. A European detector will take on the challenge of hunting for thunderstorms from space next week. Picture: OTD/LIS/NASA |
