Super Typhoon Trami, seen from space. European astronaut Alexander Gerst (Astro_Alex_ESA) captured these images from the vantage point of the International Space Station (ISS), sharing it and saying it looks "as if somebody pulled the planet's gigantic plug. Staring down the eye of yet another fierce storm." Adding “be safe down there!”, Gerst captured these images of Super Typhoon Trami heading for Japan and Taiwan. In addition to space views captured by the astronauts, our NASAEarth-observing satellites collect imagery and data, including infrared and microwave imagery, rain rates throughout the storm and cloud heights. This data helps scientists and forecasters better predict weather and keep the public informed.
