   SPACE LIGHTNING OVER CHINA: While photographing the Perseid meteor shower on   
   Aug. 13th, a sky watcher in China captured rare images of a "gigantic jet"   
   leaping out of a thundercloud. The luminous purple and red structure stretched   
   its tentacles almost to the edge of space before vanishing in full view of   
   dozens of onlookers.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for photos and more
