I am so lucky to have captured such a picture of Gigantic Jets Lightning over Himalayan Mountains. And it has now been published at #APOD of June 18. I took them on the early morning of June 10, 2024.

@Ye_yyyy @kanyewest Fuck u fake fans，

Ye Live in Shanghai @kanyewest

The night sky over the Anamqen Snow Mountain， should be the high level of dark sky and air permeability that has been photographed so far.

@Mizocchim modified camera? good color of the milky way，so neutral

ATLAS photoed by mobile phone

@PaulMSmithphoto @JimCantore @ProfBrianCox How to take the jets so clear and pure

@negiasa It’s like the movie 《Your name》

今日の紫金山アトラス彗星は肉眼でもよく見えた！ 輪郭がはっきり分かるわけじゃなく、天の川やマゼラン星雲のようにぼんやりとそこに縦長の雲がある感じでしたね。

@negiasa very bright

@lorigraceaz incredible

Yes, but can your thunderstorm do this? Pictured here are gigantic jets shooting up from a thunderstorm last week toward the Himalayan Mountains in China and Bhutan. The composite image captured four long jets that occurred only minutes apart. Gigantic jets, documented only in this century, are a type of lightning discharge that occurs between some thunderstorms and the Earth's ionosphere high above them. They are an unusual type of lightning that is much different from regular cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning. The bottoms of gigantic jets appear similar to a cloud-to-above strike called blue jets, while the tops appear similar to upper-atmosphere red sprites. Although the mechanism and trigger that cause gigantic jets remains a topic of research, it is clear that the jets reduce charge imbalance between different parts of Earth's atmosphere. A good way to look for gigantic jets is to watch a powerful but distant thunderstorm from a clear location. Image Credit & Copyright: Li Xuanhua

@Rakeshg_iitm I take them at the early morning of june 10，about 00:00 of Chinese time. At g90.92281938, 29.03728896

@LEOPHOTO_ If you share the specific area with latitude, longitude and time, it will be great to see the lightning events along with these fascinating sprites ..!

Time delayed photography of the entire process of gigantic jets.

@Rakeshg_iitm @NASA @apod @PaulMSmithphoto I captured them at yangzhuoyongcuo lurila observation, and my cameras are facing the Kuragangri Snow Mountain

@LEOPHOTO_ @NASA @apod @PaulMSmithphoto Wow...! Very fascinating scenarios, exactly where in the Himalayas you captured these gigantic jets and sprites..?

@WrightDobbs @StewarrMark @NASA @apod @PaulMSmithphoto About 300 km

@LEOPHOTO_ @StewarrMark @NASA @apod @PaulMSmithphoto Well done on the APOD! How far away from you were these storms?

@JoshM_eyer @PaulMSmithphoto @NASA @apod LOL，I accidentally take the first picture.

@LEOPHOTO_ @PaulMSmithphoto @NASA @apod Double whammy

@tedyander Thanks I have found it

@LEOPHOTO_ You can ask YT to remove the video under copyright infringement.

This person stole my picture and posted it on his YouTube, and I have never authorized my picture to him.

@lorigraceaz Maybe we can take better pictures at the future, because this is the first time and accidentally take the picture of it.

@PaulMSmithphoto @NASA @apod Yes, I saw many with my eyes and could clearly see their shapes and colors, even though it happened within milliseconds.

@Lxh_CZ @NASA @apod Did you see any with your eyes?
