NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers captured a stunning photograph of one of nature’s most elusive phenomena from the International Space Station on July 3, 2025, initially believing she had documented a sprite, a rare form of atmospheric lightning, only to discover she had captured something even more extraordinary: a gigantic jet.

“Nichole Ayers caught a rare and spectacular form of a TLE from the International Space Station — a gigantic jet,” confirmed Dr. Burcu Kosar, Principal Investigator of NASA’s Spritacular project. The discovery represents one of the clearest views of this atmospheric phenomenon ever documented from space.

      Fast travel: for when your game doesn’t have interesting distractions along the way.

      Fast travel is for games that fucked up by making a massive world but didn’t build a reason to explore it. Games with fast tavel are usually a waste of time, because they know they created something that the majority of players don’t even want to interact with. Either there shouldn’t be fast travel or you shouldn’t have made a massive world.
