I’d like to see that without the lens distortion.
That hurricane is some galactic level catastrophy boss level destruction about to happen… Lots of people are going to die. Godspeed to those hunkering down.
Wow the ISS has a really really low orbit!
It’s only about 250 miles (400 km) high
It does, you can capture it with any halfway decent camera so long as it’s backlit by the sun and it’s dark out (and your timing is perfect)
Huge white cotton asshole
We’re the ones that seeded and birthed it.
JFC, almost looks like a still from 2012 or the Day after Tomorrow.
… Roland Emmerich must be working on the final entry in his trilogy.
Trilogy!? There’s a second one?
Both 2012 and Day After Tomorrow were at least partially written by and entirely directed by Roland Emmerich!
To quote Red Dwarf:
“All hands on deck, swirly thing alert!”
A rare Red Dwarf quote in the wild.
You are an individual of quality.
“Red alert!”
“Are you sure sir? It does mean changing the bulb”

Thank you.
That helped me find a non-Twitter link: https://www.sen.com/video/570871d0-340c-475e-af31-26115ff6ed83
But I bet there’s an actual original source somewhere.
Sen is the original source. They sent 4K cameras up to the ISS earlier this year, and they’ve been capturing some amazing shots.
Interesting. How did they work out that deal?
I hope everyone in the path of this beast survives.
Meanwhile, Republicans trying to find the climate change:
They’re actually still trying to find the curve.
Oh boy, that looks big. I’m glad I’m really far away from that and good luck to anyone who isn’t as lucky as me, seriously.
Mother Nature is going to fuck up the Florida Oblast.
Here’s hoping it wipes out Mar A Lago. So the dipshit can get his lackies to push relief fund to people who need it and not to Ron I am A Cocksucker Desantis.
This would be even cooler with a whole days worth of fly-bys showing the progression of size.
Buckle up, Bible Belt. It’s going to be wild.
God is mad at them for being so mean to their trans neighbors. It’s the only explanation.
Nah, that’s our collective karma for not caring for our habitat.
With everything going wrong in the world today, I still live in child-like awe of photos from or of Space.
I’m grateful that I live in an age where I’ve seen photos from orbit become more and more high resolution. As scary as that hurricane looks, the fidelity of it looks absolutely beautiful.
