Lighting from space pictures are rare and this is the blue blobs seen from a picture from the ISS. The following is from interestingengineering.com and written by Ameya Paleja:
"The extraordinary image was captured when the ISS was flying above Southeast Asia.
An unnamed astronaut aboard the Expedition 66 Mission to the International Space Station (ISS) happened to capture a rare lightning event from space using a Nikon D5 camera. The image was released recently by NASA's Earth Observatory.
Lightning events may be commonly observed from Earth but with 254 miles (408 km) above the ground, sighting them becomes a bit harder. This is due to the cloud cover that hides the lightning activity from the astronauts above. While spotting lightning is a rare event for the ISS crew, capturing it in a picture becomes extraordinary.
The image was captured last year on October 30. What we do not know, though, is who really captured the image. The ISS National Lab program provides the crew with equipment to take images of Earth that will be of interest to scientists and the public at large, and while the image was captured on the equipment, we do not know who was using the digital camera at that point.
What can be seen in the image?
The image was captured when the ISS was flying above Southeast Asia, and the limb of the Earth is seen as the orange-yellow halo parallel to the curvature of the Earth. The image captures areas of China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos, as well as the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea.
The ring of lights in the central part of the image is the Hainan island, the southernmost province of China, which millions of years ago was connected to the Chinese mainland. Over the years, the Hainan Straight was formed as the landmass drifted apart, and today it sits 12 miles (20 km) from the mainland.
The night lights are a representation of the population density of the region, with the landlocked country of Laos showing up as a strip of darkness.
At the bottom of the image is a big blob of lightning occurring somewhere over the Gulf of Thailand. The cloud cover, which usually hides lightning from the ISS, seems to have thinned down just enough for the lightning strike to be captured by the 28 mm lens of the Nikon D5, captured as a ring, illuminated in blue.
Why is it blue?
Near the right end of the image is another blob of blue, which is not another bolt of lightning in the South China sea but the light from the Moon. As Live Science reported, the Moon was likely at an orientation where the light it was reflecting from the Sun passed through the Earth's atmosphere scattering off some tiny particles.
When visible light interacts with particles in the atmosphere, the latter can cause them to scatter. Since blue is the shortest wavelength, it is likely to be scattered the most and is the reason the sky also appears blue during the day."
When I first saw the picture I did wonder what that could be and looking closer I saw the lighting. This is way cool to see from the top end of a thunder storm.

I have lost a lot of faith with the Medical Community and the Governments over the last several years, but there are a few good things that can raise above the corruption and the pushing of drugs a new approach to heal people. The following is from www.gaia.com and written by Hunter Parsons that does not involve any drug or pushing an ineffective so called vaccine that the drug company is not held accountable in any way but they use sound! The use of sound can regrow bone tissue! Here is the story:
"The future of regenerative medicine could be found within sound healing by regrowing bone cells with sound waves.
The use of sound as a healing modality has an ancient tradition all over the world. The ancient Greeks used sound to cure mental disorders; Australian Aborigines reportedly use the didgeridoo to heal; and Tibetan or Himalayan singing bowls were, and still are, used for spiritual healing ceremonies.
Recently, a study showed an hour-long sound bowl meditation reduced anger, fatigue, anxiety, and ...
Not a fan of a Defense Agency studying Anti-Gravity and other Exotic Tech, but if the commercial world and make this technology cheap that will change our world yet again. The following is about three minute read and from www.gaia.com. The below was written by Hunter Parsons:
"Wormholes, invisibility cloaks, and anti-gravity — it’s not science fiction, it’s just some of the exotic things the U.S. government has been researching.
A massive document dump by the Defense Intelligence Agency shows some of the wild research projects the United States government was, at least, funding through the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program known as AATIP.
And another lesser-known entity called the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program or AAWSAP
The Defense Intelligence Agency has recently released a large number of documents to different news outlets and individuals who have filed Freedom of Information Act requests.
Of particular interest are some 1,600 pages released to Vice News, which ...
As our technology gets better we are discovering more about the history of mankind and pushing the timeline back further and further. The following article is from www.gaia.com and written by Michael Chary that discusses this new find that changes the historical timeline:
"Over the past decade, there have been a number of archeological revelations pushing back the timeline of human evolution and our ancient ancestors’ various diasporas. Initially, these discoveries elicit some resistance as archeologists bemoan the daunting prospect of rewriting the history books, though once enough evidence is presented to established institutions, a new chronology becomes accepted.
But this really only pertains to the era of human development that predates civilization — the epochs of our past in which we were merely hunter-gatherers and nomads roaming the savannahs. Try challenging the consensus timeline of human civilization and it’s likely you’ll be met with derision and rigidity.
Conversely, someone of an alternative...
Not sure if you have heard of a show on YouTube called "The Why Files". If not you should check it out it is interesting and has some humor with it on different subjects. Last weeks was on a different theory how the Universe works and how main stream Science is attempting to shut it down like is always seems to do if it goes aguest some special interest. Today it is akin to what happened to those who questioned the Earth was the Center of the Universe that main stream so called Science all believed during the Renaissance period, They called any theory that the Earth was not the Center of the Universe misinformation. Does this sound familiar today? People laughed and mocked people like Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolaus Copernicus, Georg Purbach as crack-pots, conspiracy theorists, nut-jobs and they were suppressed and even imprisoned for their radical thoughts and observations. Again it sounds like today in so many ways. In any event this is a good one to ponder and see even if a bad idea ...
Seemingly chaotic systems like the weather and the financial markets are governed by the laws of chaos theory.
We all have heard about chaos theory, but if you have not or have forgotten what chaos theory is well here you go from interestingengineering.com:
"Chaos theory deals with dynamic systems, which are highly sensitive to initial conditions, making it almost impossible to track the resulting unpredictable behavior. Chaos theory seeks to find patterns in systems that appear random, such as weather, fluid turbulence, and the stock market.
Since the smallest of changes can lead to vastly different outcomes, the long-term behavior of chaotic systems is difficult to predict despite their inherently deterministic nature.
As Edward Lorenz, who first proposed what became commonly known as the Butterfly Effect, eloquently said, "Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.""
You may have heard the term about chaos theory as a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil,...
I for one have lost trust in Medical Doctors due to COVID and reflection that they seem to push pills for everything and untested so called vaccines that is using a unproven technology because the Government and the Medical Boards of the State told them to. There are a very few exceptions. Thus they do not address the key problem just prescribe more and more pills to keep you alive an sick longer for them and Big Phama to profit from you. Will AI do any better? Well that depends on what was used for the training of AI. If it also pushes pills and vaccines without question then you have the same problems noted above. However, if the AI Training includes all possible forms of treatment and they zero in on the right issues for the true problem then there is possibilities they would be way better than most of the current Medical Doctors today.
The following is from an article from interestingengineering.com and written by Paul Ratner:
