British astronaut Tim Peake has posted a stunning timelapse, shot from the International Space Station, of a lightning storm passing over earth.
Amazing how much lightning can strike our planet in a short time #Principia#timelapsehttps://t.co/XijV5E1pI0

Peake, who embarked on his “Principia” mission in December to maintain the ISS’ weightless research lab, has shared many similar videos during his trip.
Here’s another.

His videos haven’t all been of Earth.
In January he also gave his followers an insight into how to cook scrambled eggs in space. And it’s pretty nifty.
Not quite as good as at home, but they are definitely scrambled! Space scrambled eggs: https://t.co/t7UNio9knQhttps://t.co/7WZXF2RyIl
