He added this will be"one of the more exciting studies" for the research team, as his 2015 images of blue jets made the covers of both Science and Nature, the most prestigious journals in the scientific community.Lightning has been captured by cameras in space before thanks to powerful satellites, examples being the American GOES series and the new European Meteosat Third Generation series.
Two other things are working to Mogensen's advantage. His 2015 mission was just 10 days; this time, he's expected to stay infor at least six months. The new camera he has with him, called a Davis camera, is a novelty as well: It captures up to 100,000 images per second based on events it sees. The new camera, Mogensen said,"gives the scientists a way to study the formation and development of these types of lightning in much more detail. And there's still a lot to understand exactly how they form, how they develop."
The camera is neuromorphic, meaning it uses a different way of imaging than what is found in standard cameras."Instead of taking images by collecting light through the camera shutter, the camera measures differences in light and uses that information to create an image," ESA officials"A person sitting perfectly still in a lit room would not be registered on a Davis camera, as the light does not change.
