Hurricane Ian is pictured above in a surprising {photograph} that was taken by an astronaut onboard the International Space Station (ISS). When this {photograph} was snapped, the ISS was orbiting 258 miles above the Caribbean Sea east of Belize. At the time, Ian was simply south of Cuba gaining power and heading towards Florida. In the foreground (from left), are the Soyuz MS-22 crew ship, docked to the Rassvet module, and the Soyuz MS-21 crew ship, docked to the Prichal module.
There had been a few different beautiful pictures launched by NASA of Hurricane Ian from the ISS:
Above is another photograph of Hurricane Ian captured by a crew member onboard the International Space Station. When the picture was taken, on September 26, the ISS was orbiting more than 400 kilometers (250 miles) above Earth’s surface. At the time, Hurricane Ian was just south of Cuba and the space station was located over the Caribbean Sea east of Belize. Over the course of that day, it grew from a tropical storm to a category-2 hurricane.Â
This picture of Hurricane Ian was photographed from the ISS while the orbiting lab was over 250 miles above the Gulf of Mexico. At the time this photograph was taken, Ian was approaching the west coast of Florida as a category 4 storm.
