Blue jets spear from cloud tops toward the stratosphere with eerie, silent urgency.\n\n> Both events happen so fast and high that capturing their details was nearly impossible. Yet ASIM can spot them from orbit.\n\n> One study used its footage and ground instruments to pinpoint the altitude of a single blue jet. This confirmed that these upward bolts really do punch beyond the weather layer we know.\n\n> Those measurements feed directly into storm-charging models, which in turn inform aviation guidelines about where dangerous electrical fields might lurk…",
