As a storm was passing over the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex, lightning flashed in the nearby hills.
The video shows it at normal speed and then in slow motion to capture the action.
The antennas themselves have lightning protection and are well-earthed, so even if they are struck, we can keep on operating.
The Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex is a part of NASA's Deep Space Network and is managed on their behalf by CSIRO, Australia's national science agency.
