NASA astronaut Matthew Dominic has recently shared a rare and heart-touching picture of India taken from space.

This flash of lightning captured in the background of the earth has surprised social media users. The special thing is that this picture is so perfect that it did not need any editing. More than 1 million people have seen this post so far and it is becoming increasingly viral.
Caption increased interest
Dominic wrote in the caption of this picture, ‘Lightning over India at night’. I use burst mode to capture lightning. I hope lightning comes in the frame. I was extremely happy when this lightning came exactly in the middle of the frame. No crop was needed.
Dominic said that these stripes were formed due to the fast speed of the space station and the exposure time of 1/5 second. Additionally, the haze over a city in the left and center of the frame is described as twilight caused by clouds and orbital motion.
