Bizarre Blue Blobs Hover Over Earth s Atmosphere Captured By ISS Astronauts @TheCosmosNews

#thecosmosnews Nasa s Earth Observatory re-posted the images after they were taken last year. It previously explained: "An astronaut onboard the International Space Station (ISS) took this photograph while orbiting over Southeast Asia and looking toward Earth’s limb." One blob can be seen at the bottom center of the image and one can be seen to the right. The big alien-like blob in the center is actually lightning. The one to the right is the Moon. Lightning strikes are usually hard to see from the ISS but this huge one occurred through a perfectly timed gap in the clouds. The surrounding clouds were lit up by the lightning and the strange looking blue blob was formed. A trick of light also helps the Moon to look like an odd blue blob in the image.
