Love it! Sometimes it feels like the world is on fire, but with this satellite orbiting in the Arthur C Clarke Belt, it is a humbling thing to see lighting strikes from such a distance and helps give me a little perspective. Well done!
Thank you for your question! The MTG (Meteosat Third Generation) satellite utilises the Lightning Imager (LI) instrument to detect lightning activity. The LI instrument is designed to capture high-resolution images of lightning discharges. It can detect both intra-cloud (IC) and cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning flashes. By analysing the data from the LI instrument, scientists can gather information about the frequency, intensity, and distribution of lightning activity. This data is crucial for weather monitoring, forecasting, and research purposes. The LI instrument on the MTG satellite plays a vital role in enhancing our understanding of lightning phenomena and its impact on weather systems.
As explained in the video, the movement you observed from the center to the top left corner is the evolution of a large cluster of tropical thunderstorms. ⛈

Thunderstorm, frontal and volcanic clouds are charged from the ionosphere. If, instead of a cloud above the ground, a conductive plate of a large area is raised, lightning will fly from it to the ground around the clock for millions of years. This is how the ionospheric power plants I invented will work.
INTELLIGENCE SCARCITY WATER: Water can never be Scarce in the Universe, due to molecular buildup, and because of the Abundance on Earth. If Water would have been Scarce in the Universe, it would also have been scarce on Earth. Water however, can also be solid or Vapor. Liquid water yes that is scarce, but we can melt or cool the other phases of Water.
Unfortunately no, there is currently no version of this video translated into Spanish or with Spanish subtitles. However, you can try using UA-cam's auto-translate feature to generate captions in Spanish. Simply click on the "CC" button in the video player, then select the "Auto-translate" option and choose Spanish as the target language.

Incredible technology to make this kind of images possible !... Well done ESA !!
I love ESA!
fascinating
Amazing. I so appreciate all the great technology ESA and NASA have developed to help us understand more about our planet!
Wow what an incredibly useful instrument. It will be interesting to compare data over time.

Thanks🌟 great info ; look forward to more😊
Very nice !
Most excellent!
Such an inspiring view! This is the proof Leonardo doesn't need weapons to do incredible things.
Does wonders for a global view on things.
That is amazing. Congratulations to all involved.
I love Lightnings, they have such a Power!!!
That's so cool! Which elements does the satellite have to detect these lightings?

The speed of cloud charging to the breakdown voltage depends on the cosine of latitude, season and time of day.@@EuropeanSpaceAgency
Thank you!
Ouah! Ces caméras sont autre chose
All that power and none of it being harvested.

2:46 what is the thing moving from center to left top corner

Ok it might just be the suns reflection 🤦🏻♂️

Never got to the moon either !

🤤....
Can't we get whole planet Earth lightning data
I think a US satellite collects similar data for North America. GOES 16 or something like that.
Не впечатлило.
That is amazing 🤩
