Nichole “Vapor” Ayers @Astro_Ayers - I’ve received a lot of questions and comments about this picture. It’s a testament to the unique view we have from the @Space_Station and what we can learn about the Earth from space. Also, turns out, this is a gigantic jet, another type of TLE. So cool to learn as we go up here.
This shot was taken with a Nikon Z9 using a 50mm lens (f/1.2, ¼ sec, ISO 6400) as part of a time-lapse I set up in the Cupola. Like @astro_pettit said, it takes planning, timing, and a lot of pictures to capture such a rare phenomenon.
In this photo, the storm appears to be hovering near the Texas–Mexico border. You can spot the glow of Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston to the northeast, and Torreón, Mexico, to the southwest.
@NASA makes our Earth observation pictures publicly available, so as soon as this one is processed, you can find it here.

North American Aerospace Defense Command @NORADCommand - "NORAD and the FAA aim to keep the skies over America safe, with close attention paid to areas with Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR) to ensure flight safety, national security, and the security of the President. TFR procedures are mandatory, and the excessive number of TFR violations this weekend indicates some civil aviators are not reading Notice to Airmen, or NOTAMs, before each flight as required by the FAA. NORAD armed fighter aircraft will intercept and guide offending aircraft out of the TFR. Should the pilot of an aircraft happen to find itself intercepted by either fighters or helicopters, they should immediately come up on frequency 121.5 or 243.0 and turn around to reverse course until receiving additional instructions on one of those frequencies.”
- General Gregory Guillot, Commander NORAD and US Northern Command (USNORTHCOM)

For the second time this weekend, @NORADCommand fighters intercepted an aircraft violating the Bedminster TFR, bringing the total to 11 violations so far.
Pilots: Review NOTAMs before every flight. No excuses.
