schema:text	A video is being shared online with claims it shows a Russian rocket being hit by lightning and continuing to ascend. Although this did reportedly happen, the clip featured in the post is not genuine and was created with CGI. The footage has been circulating on social media, including on X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook with captions saying: “Russian rocket gets struck by lightning and keeps going.” Another Facebook post states that the video shows a “Russian Soyuz rocket”, which was “struck by lightning during its launch from Plesetsk Cosmodrome”. This incident did reportedly occur during the launch of a Glonass-M navigation satellite in May 2019. Real footage of the strike was shared on X at the time by then-Roscosmos (Russia’s space agency) Director General Dmitry Rogozin. However, a reverse image search of stills from the video being shared recently, which differs from the one posted by Mr Rogozin, shows it was uploaded to YouTube in January 2022, with the caption: “on May 27, 2019 a Russian Soyuz rocket carrying a Glonass navigation satellite was hit by lightning and still successfully reached orbit. CGI animation.” Before sharing a video online, it’s important to consider whether it comes from a reliable and verifiable source.
