An astonishing image of a lightning strike reflecting on solar panels of the International Space Station has been captured by an astronaut onboard the space station. The image has been captured by NASA astronaut Kjell Lindgren.

Last month, Lindgren captured the image that shows the curve of the earth along with its atmosphere's thin layer and our Milky Way galaxy glowing blue and red in the night sky. Billions of stars of the galaxy are also seen on amazing display.

The image was captured as the ISS moved over the Pacific Ocean. Earlier, Lindgren's fellow astronaut Scott Kelly has also done something like that. He came up with stunning photos captured from Earth's orbit, together with images of the aurora borealis and Manhattan.

The ISS is 249 miles above the Earth and is orbiting at a speed of 17,150 mph. NASA's Lindgren has been onboard the space station since July.

After entry of three more astronauts at the space station, the crew now includes the Russian Federal Space Agency, Sergey Volkov of Roscosmos, Andreas Mogensen from the European Space Agency, Commander Gennady Padalka of Roscosmos, Aidyn Aimbetov of the Kazakh Space Agency, Flight Engineers Scott Kelly and Kjell Lindgren of NASA, Flight Engineers Oleg Kononenko and Mikhail Kornienko of Roscosmos, as well as Kimiya Yui of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.

It is for the first time in two years that nine people are working at the space station.
