Sort of. Several times spacecraft passed over thunderstorms and observed multicolored "columns" appearing above the clouds at the same time there was a lightning strike below the cloud. However these "columns" don't extend above the atmosphere.
Yes it is possible to see lightning from space, so astronauts do see it sometimes.
It has 25 lightning rods on the roof.
Don't go out when it is lightning? :/
Georgina Lightning goes by Georgie.
No, lightning travels downward from the clouds to the ground.
There are actually 25 lightning rods- including the tower itself- on top of the Space Needle; though lightning storms are relatively uncommon in the Seattle area, so it is not struck very often. It was recently struck by lightning three times (May 19, 2009), and was struck three years before, in 2006.
No. I went to Los Vegas and there was a sandstorm and there was lightning
The path that a lightning bolt travels through is called a lightning channel. Lightning channels can be several miles long and are formed when an electrical breakdown of air creates an ionized path for the current to flow through.
There are lightnings rods on top to prevent lighting damage. But it wont prevent lightning itself.
Yes, lightning can travel both upwards and downwards in the atmosphere.

No, there is not any prevention of lightning. You can't just wish lightning gone and it go away. So NO THERE ISNOT ANY WAY TO PREVENT LIGHTNING FROM HAPPENING.
