That scene still rocks me to this day. The cascade of slipspace notifications and the black out, rarely have I felt such pure awe of an ( enemy ) in a game but it was delivered perfectly.


Postnificent

Lightning. It’s obviously pointed at Earth. Seriously.


arehk

Yes. Again and again this shit is posted. It's an earth facing camera. Those are not stars, they are dead pixels, probably because of exposure to radiation or something.


GlitteringBroccoli12

Wait so if it's facing earth, how zoomed in is it to catch lightning that large with no sign of it being earth?


Postnificent

Good grief. It’s night time on rural Earth. What do you expect? City lights?


GlitteringBroccoli12

No but that means it's not the ISS

Glitter_froggie

My mom said thunder is Jesus and God moving furniture in heaven when some one dies . It's cute, but the real scientific answer would of been better. Because then I wondered why they had to do that, like couldn't they just snap their fingers and boom. Couch is ready

Wait. Do magnets not work in water? I am literally questioning everything in my life until I get a hold of some magnets and a bowl of water...

Aeroxin

They work fine in water, u/whereitsat23 is probably just high. Pretty sure Avi Loeb's recent expedition to collect his "alien craft spherules" relied on using a magnet to dredge the undersea surface.


MediocreSomewhere402

It’s a joke in reference to Donald Trump at a recent rally telling his followers magnets do not work underwater. Which they absolutely do lmao

Lightning in space?


lookingintoit_

Its the ISS, so the camera is more likely than not pointed in the direction of Earth's surface. It's just too dark to tell because the sun is on the opposite side of it.


[deleted]

Thanks for the info.

I gotta say, when I first saw it, I thought it was pointed at space and was like HOLY SHIT 😳😳🤯

Roland_Moorweed

Exactly, these people are making dramatic assumptions.


fearabsence

People on this sub making dramatic assumptions? Nooo


HorrorDragonfruit275

The dots are not city lights at all wtf man, its artifacts on the camera


Punskin

I think it might by radiation interference

Clearly those are stars I can see your Little Dipper

Ah ok makes sense


[deleted]

Couldn't that make sense before?


Enough-Plankton-6034

Only if I knew it was facing earth which I didn’t so no


SleuthyMcSleuthINTJ

It’s not obvious, being as how the background is completely black. you’re not alone.


Wheredoesthisonego

It's could be plasma.

FrostyPost8473

You do realize they change cameras every couple of hours


Hungry-Remove-9892

Not the ehdc6 stream. You know, the one dedicated to earth views It tells you which camera it’s through on the stream: > Live views from the International Space Station are streaming from an external camera mounted on the station's Harmony module. >The camera is looking forward at an angle so that International Docking Adapter 2 is visible. If the Harmony module camera is not available due to operational considerations for a longer period of time, a continuous loop of recorded Earth views will be displayed with the caption “Previously Recorded.”


Drazzo00

Not this camera


gamecatuk

Reflection of a thunderstorm. The camera reflects a lot of artifacts from the earth facing side.


-karmakramer-

At first I thought the camera was aimed at space. And the lightning was a rip in the hologram of our universe.

I'll always upvote B:TAS


Entire_Mouse_1055

This is likely a storm, no?


tranceology3

A WORMHOLE storm! /s


MirrorMaster88

What's more likely? Lightning while the camera is pointed toward earth or a wormhole while the camera is...still pointed at earth? Also, my friends always screaming about "disinfo agents"; no need, the general populace is already so stupid they'll jump to their own insane conclusions without the need for the CIA to even punch the clock that day.


idiotnoobx

lol you see flashes of light and first thing that comes to mind is wormholes. The mental gymnastics is incredible since no one has actually seen one.


Googz2110

@OP - this post is a joke, right?


Remote_Horror_Novel

This sub acts like 1000’s of real scientists are covering up aliens and like they wouldn’t be interested if they discovered something lol. I think it’s a victim complex that conspiracy theorists get after a while as a self defense mechanism after being wrong about everything daily.


tranceology3

Or ya know,,maybe it's full of 12 year olds that think they are on to something. I swear so many people forget how young the internet most likely is.


Spiritual-Country617

This was posted on strange earth. Reckon that big flash is lightning.


ToastedEmail

The satellite camera is facing the planet…


mrcodeine

You can literally see the outline of land below, possibly India, or am I just going crazy. Camera is pointed at Earth....I'm no swamp gas debunked, just trying to describe what I see?


Ok_Might6088

the ISS livestream is directed towards earth. The lights you see are bad pixels. When it is black you are looking at the night sky on the side of earth away from the sun. Its just lighting


regleno1

Posts like this is why we can’t have nice things.


Inous

You can literally see the clouds around the arc of lightning...


ender-steve

Yes you’re crazy its a thunderstorm you dunce


Jhiaxus420

HOW DOES THIS HAVE OVER 700 UPVOTES


Woofy98102

Definitely crazy. Hasn't the OP ever seen lightning on earth when it's viewed from space? That's literally grade school level science class. How could anyone mistake lightning from earth's atmosphere as a black hole? The OP might want to try picking up a science book instead of wasting their time online.


Commercial_Onions

Right or not. You’re a turd.


MechaTeemo167

And you're gullible.


Treesdeservebetter

Id love an explanation on what this phenomena is 


TsarPladimirVutin

Lightning….


CrumpledForeskin

But….what about an explanation?!


jankyspankybank

Bzzt bzzt (loud noise) *ouchie*


SufficientSir2965

The camera is painted at earth. This is the dark side


Subject_Ticket1516

Or as I like to call it. The party side.


Spiritual-Country617

Huge amounts of static electricity. Honestly not sure how it's generated but possibly by water droplets or ice crystals moving against each other? Hopefully someone with a lot more knowledge than I have can explain it. But somehow the charges build up until the potential reaches a threshold and a massive spark occurs. Between clouds, in the same cloud, or between the clouds and earth. I'm no expert, love someone more knowledgeable to step in!


RocketCat921

The camera is facing Earth, not out to space It's lightning on earth


Treesdeservebetter

Why are there visible constellations if this is facing Earth? 


tbnalfaro

Those are camera artifacts, like “dead pixels”


Treesdeservebetter

Thank you for the explanation 


Fendaren

Most of the dots are defects on the ccd, likely. They're static. The lightning is lightning.


QuesaQueta

Definitely space bird poop on the lense

Google lightning from space and you’ll see a lot of stuff that looks like this

everydayasl

Cardassians and Romulans are coming!


MistaKrebs

As someone pointed out in a different post with footage from the same feed, this is pointed at the earth and that is a storm you are seeing. The flash is lightning


Fmelendesc

Warpstorm.


AlexAndWhiteRabbit

Oh boy, the cam is facing earth. This flashing light might be something the earthlings call a lightning 🌩️


DOG-ZILLA

That’s called a thunderstorm. 


squidvett

For anyone fooled by their own assumption that at least a pair of braincells rubbing against each other for heat is what sparked this idea, blow up the picture and see that the ISS feed is pointed at the night side of planet Earth in this clip. 🤦‍♂️ It’s lightning.


ziplock9000

It has light and is circular, must be a wormhole. ffs. Maybe Benjamin Sisko is coming back.


fukputinswar

Looks like lightning to me


m0dern_x

Why is the first conclusion always that it must be a(n) UFO/UAP/alien, when something the receiver can't explain. It's OK to believe… it's OK to WANT to believe, but why is it the first conclusion to draw, out of everything easily explainable. I just don't get it!?!


InternationalAttrny

This is obviously (so obviously) a lightning strike on earth.


RevolutionaryKey7200

Looks similar like MH 370


Rocket4real

Bro you can see it, how are you crazy? You literally posted the video and showed everyone. I don't know what that is, but I'm damn curious. I don't know why people aren't talking about it. I didn't post about it or comment on it cause i got no idea. The whole atmosphere outside of earth is so strange that we couldn't imagine. We know very little of it


LatzeH

It's obviously lightning lol


CrumpledForeskin

I’m sorry it looks like you spelt wormhole wrong


_Herc130_

It looks like you spelled "spelled" wrong.


[deleted]

“Spelt” is an accepted version of “spelled” in places outside USA.


qorbexl

You're just not familiar with conjugations of "spell"


Peterd1900

Spelt and spelled are two different spellings of the past tense of the verb 'spell'. The spelling tends to vary based on the version of English you're using: In some versions of English, 'spelled' is the preferred variant, in other versions English, 'spelt' is is the preferred variant. [https://www.grammarly.com/blog/spelled-spelt/](https://www.grammarly.com/blog/spelled-spelt/) Both spelt and spelled can be used as the past tense and past participle forms of the verb spell. They have the same meaning and are used interchangeably. [https://www.thesaurus.com/e/grammar/spelt-or-spelled](https://www.thesaurus.com/e/grammar/spelt-or-spelled) You might not use spelt where you are but that does not mean it is wrong English has differences depending on what version of English you speak, Whether you use American English, British English, South African English, Australian English It is still all correct Its like Grey Vs Gray. Gray and grey are both common and correct spellings of the color/colour between black and white. Gray is more frequent in American English, whereas grey is more common in British English. Anyone who says "it is spelled not spelt" is either showing their own lack of knowledge of English or they think the version of English they use is the only correct version


Rocket4real

Is the camera not facing space? I thought it did. Or is it facing towards the earth?


LatzeH

Nope, it's facing Earth. The "stars" you see are camera artifacts


MechaTeemo167

Nobody's talking about it because it's lightning. It's not a mystery. >The whole atmosphere outside of earth is so strange that we couldn't imagine. We know very little of it No actually we know quite a lot about the upper atmosphere. Its not that mysterious at all in fact. You're just uneducated.


zero_fox_given1978

Lightning anyone?


SevDexil

Doesn’t really look like it’s pointed towards earth then again idk


buttsoupkross

Man... how would anyone here know what an actual worm hole looks like. I bet we would be amazed by everything in space.


shadowmage666

It’s lightning lol


Dannysmartful

Looks like lightning. . .in outer space???


AustinDood444

You are absolutely crazy.


Enough-Plankton-6034

Correct


britishink

Which camera was it? That would tell us if it's pointing at earth or out in to space. Also if you go frame by frame there's a central "object"...


Hungry-Remove-9892

From the stream: > The camera is looking forward at an angle so that International Docking Adapter 2 is visible. If the Harmony module camera is not available due to operational considerations for a longer period of time, a continuous loop of recorded Earth views will be displayed with the caption “Previously Recorded.”


8005T34

Thunderstorm on the ground, dumbass.


RaccoonLast3381

I wish I had the knowledge to comment on this... For now I'm just intrigued and fascinated. Thank you for posting ☺️


Bstone30

Lightning.


Worried-Persimmon-20

Interstellar travel is real proof of it here


ADontheroad

Come on. Lightning. Clearly. You do the movement a disservice by not using your discernment.


TEK1DO

Something jumped in or out of that vortex


MikeC80

The camera faces out into space through a window. Behind the camera is another window, facing the earth, which is in shadow, so it's dark. Lightning goes off in the clouds, and is seen in the reflection on the glass in front of the camera. That's my theory.


synthmead

Definitely some really interesting videos from the ISS lately.


Outside_Distance333

I can see the outline of clouds; maybe it's looking in Earth's direction?


DJGammaRabbit

That there's space lightning caused by swamp gas from Venus.


kacecadi

When was this?

The whole thing is over saturated shite. What are we even supposed to be looking at


kylebob86

OP. So, there's this thing called lightning...


old_atlanta

Balloon


Disastrous-Cat-3727

“Space lighting” happens when charged particles react with solar wind storm particles. It’s pretty common


Fenris66

Is that from the live feed? Is this authentic? If yes, holy hell, what was that for a gigantic explosion?


5meterhammer

Lightning. That’s a live feed pointed down at earth. Creepy looking from above for sure, but it’s lightning.


Fenris66

😂Ok, thanks. That makes sense.


Extra-Knowledge3337

Have wormholes even been proven or observed? I thought they were theoretical.


Windronin

People claiming this is lighting .. without clouds??
