International Space Station provides a view from 260 miles above Hurricane Helene
NASA gave people on Earth a bird’s-eye view of Hurricane Helene as it tracks toward the Florida Panhandle on Thursday.
Cameras on the International Space Station captured a view of the storm from 260 miles above.
NASA hosted a livestream as the station orbited above the hurricane.
The cameras showed the eye of the storm against the limb of Earth, or where the edge of the atmosphere is visible. The space station could be seen in the foreground of the camera. On the livestream, NASA said the station was moving at about 5 miles per second and only stayed over the storm for a few minutes.
Helene is expected to make landfall in Florida Thursday night.
