What lightning looks like from space

These stunning images show an American astronaut's bird's eye view of his home planet as his space craft orbits the Earth.

Reid Wiseman, who is currently aboard the International Space Station, has posted several fascinating photos and videos on his Twitter feed.

In his latest Vine clip, he captured lightning flashes from a violent thunderstorm above Houston, Texas.

Wiseman, 38, has also shared photographs of storms above Canada, auroras and busy air traffic above Europe.

"If felt like I could reach out and touch it," Wiseman said of an aurora on June 28. He described it as "moving like a snake through the sky."

Earlier this month, Wiseman, commander Steve Swanson and ISS astronaut Alexander Gerst, from Germany, marked the start of the World Cup by having a micro-gravity kick-a-bout in space.

The astronaut is expected to return to Earth in November.
