Hurricane Florence zoom

ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst took this image of Hurricane Florence on 12 September 2018, 400 km high from the International Space Station. He commented:

"Ever stared down the gaping eye of a category 4 hurricane? It's chilling, even from space."

Alexander is on his second six-month Space Station mission. Follow him and the Horizons mission on social media on his website and on his blog.
