Astronauts see a lot of amazing things when staring down at Earth from space.
People on the International Space Station have taken photos of planes flying above Earth (http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=86651), auroras (https://t.co/FCZt1G34R8), cities lit by night (http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_2480.html) and other surreal views (http://mashable.com/2016/03/01/nasa-astronaut-scott-kelly-return/) that only a person 250 miles high can see.*

But some images taken by astronauts all alone in the night are also pretty creepy.*
For example, British astronaut Tim Peake recently snapped a photo of lightning flashing in clouds on the planet.
