Typhoon Ian is pictured above in a spectacular photograph that was taken by an astronaut onboard the International Space Station (ISS). When this photo was snapped, the ISS was orbiting 258 miles above the Caribbean Sea east of Belize. At the time, Ian was just south of Cuba gaining strength and heading toward Florida. In the foreground (from left), are the Soyuz MS-22 team ship, docked to the Rassvet module, and the Soyuz MS-21 team ship, docked to the Prichal module.
There were a number of other stunning photographs launched by NASA of Hurricane Ian from the ISS:
A crew member onboard the International Space Station took this photo of Hurricane Ian on September 26 while orbiting more than 400 kilometers (250 miles) above Earths surface area. At the time, the area station lay over the Caribbean Sea east of Belize, and Hurricane Ian was just south of Cuba. Throughout the day, it grew from a tropical storm to a category-2 hurricane.
