      ESA Shares Visualization Showing Array of Lightning in Upper Atmosphere

      The European Space Agency (ESA) shared on January 20 a visualization of types of upper atmospheric lightning, including what’s known as a blue jet.The visualization is based on data gathered by the International Space Station.“A blue jet is a form of lightning that shoots upwards from thunderstorm clouds. They can reach as far as 50 km into the stratosphere and last less than a second,” ESA said.The blue jet was observed in a storm over the Pacific Ocean, near the island of Nauru in February 2019, Science News reported.Optical cameras, photometers, and an X- and gamma-ray detector installed on the space station observed the blue jet, ESA says.According to the agency, this visualization shows a blue flash, which lasts only 10 micro seconds, followed by the blue jet lasting 400 milliseconds. The blue flash also generated a phenomenon called ELVES (an acronym of Emission of Light and Very Low Frequency perturbations due to Electromagnetic Pulse Sources), which is also visualized in this video. ELVES are “rapidly expanding ring[s] of optical and UV emissions at the bottom of the ionosphere,” ESA said on YouTube. Credit: ESA via Storyful

      'Unthinkably Stupid Behavior': CCTV Captures Woman Lying on Railway Tracks in England for Photo

      A woman was caught on a security camera lying down and posing for photographs on a railway track in Sussex, England, video released by Network Rail shows.This clip, taken from CCTV footage at Tidemills level crossing, shows a woman walking onto the train tracks before lying on her back while another woman takes photos.Network Rail said they were concerned about a rash of risky behavior at the crossing recently. The railway said this was the 17th incident at the crossing in the last nine months, with 15 recorded near-misses, compared to four incidents in the whole of 2019.British Transport Police Inspector Jonathan Pine said the two women were oblivious to the dangers of level crossings.“This is unthinkably stupid behavior … Trains pass through this line at speeds of up to 70 mph, so they could quite easily have been moments away from a catastrophic incident. We’ve seen first-hand the consequences of this sort of recklessness and no photo opportunity is worth risking your life for,” Pine said.Other concerning events recorded at Tidemills include level crossing users filming the emergency stop of an oncoming train, bicyclists narrowly missing a train, a funeral procession using the crossing, and “large groups of pedestrians” having close calls while trying to beat approaching trains, the railway said.
