A storm is brewing! 💨 Earlier this morning, astro_ricky shared this view of Hurricane Florence while orbiting our home planet from 250 miles above. As one of six humans living and working aboard the International Space Station (ISS), he takes in 16 orbits of Earth each day at a speed of 17,500mph. In addition to space views captured by our 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.
