Amazing view from space of the Hurricane Felix

Check the amazing view of the Earth-orbiting international space station at 3 of September, 11:38:46 GTM, were you can see Hurricane Felix. The photo was taken by a digital still camera with a 28.-70 lens when the station was at nadir point of 16.9 degree north latitude and 83.3 degrees west longitude, over the waters southwest of Grand Cayman island.

That day at approximately noon GTM, the hurricane was near 14.2 degrees north latitude and 76.9 west longitude, about 260 miles (425 km.) south of Kingston, Jamaica, and 425 miles (685 km.) east of Cabo Gracias a Dios on the Nicaragua/Honduras border, moving West at 21 miles per hour (33 km. per hour).

On the Saffir-Simpson scale it was a category 5 hurricane that sustained winds up to 165 miles per hour (approximately winds of 250 km. per hour).

Thanks to one of the crewmember we can satisfy our eyes with this fantastic picture, thanks!
