Ever wonder what lightning on Earth looks like from space?
NASA ASTRONAUT REID Wiseman has posted, from space, this stunning Vine that shows lightning streaking across the globe.

His latest video, which shows a lightning storm, is pretty surreal:

It’s unclear when the Vine is from, but the Houston area in the United States saw strong storms on Thursday:
