Lightning captured in a photograph by ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli from on board the International Space Station.
Paolo’s third and last mission to the Space Station is named Vita, which means “life” in Italian, and reflects the experiments Paolo will run and the philosophical notion of living in outer space – one of the most inhospitable places for humans.
