A flash of lightning shines brighter than the lights of nearby cities in this Oct. 29, 2024, image taken by astronaut Don Pettit while aboard the International Space Station. At the time of this photograph, little to no moonlight illuminated the scene. This allows astronauts to see and photograph a variety of light sources with a high degree of contrast against the dark land and water surfaces. Bright light associated with lightning is a common occurrence during the monsoon season across Southeast Asia.

一道闪电划破夜空，比邻近城市的灯光更加耀眼。这张照片拍摄于2024年10月29日，由宇航员唐·佩蒂特（Don Pettit）在国际空间站上拍摄。当时几乎没有月光照亮地面，使得宇航员能够在黑暗的陆地和水面背景下，以极高的对比度观察和拍摄各种光源。在东南亚季风季节期间，类似的强烈闪电现象非常常见。
