Hurricanes, as seen from orbit
Hurricane Ike just rolled across Cuba, and soaked parts of Haiti - both regions
still reeling from recent Hurricane Gustav. Ike appears to be weakening now,
but is headed tward the Gulf Coast of the U.S., and may yet strengthen. The
crew aboard the International Space Station was able to take a photo of Ike
from 220 miles overhead last Thursday - one in a long series of great NASA
photographs of hurricanes from space. Here are some of the best, from the
past several years.
