GOES image of Hurricane Elena over Florida
Composite image of the Earths cloud patterns on 1 September, 1985, showing Hurricane Elena over the American state of Florida. The image was composed from images taken in visible light (red areas) and in two infrared channels (turquoise areas) by one of the GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) satellites. The white areas show bright, moist cloud. DUPE 09 DAMAGED

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring power of Hurricane Elena as it looms over the state of Florida. Taken on 1 September, 1985, this composite image showcases Earth's intricate cloud patterns, with Hurricane Elena dominating the scene. The image was meticulously composed using visible light (depicted in red) and two infrared channels (displayed in turquoise), all captured by one of the GOES satellites. The contrasting colors highlight the intensity and scale of this natural phenomenon. The vibrant red areas represent visible light imagery, allowing us to witness the storm's outer bands and swirling clouds. In contrast, the turquoise areas reveal hidden details through infrared technology, exposing colder cloud tops associated with intense rainfall. The white regions within the composition indicate bright and moist clouds that contribute to Elena's destructive potential. This stunning visual representation offers a unique perspective on our planet's weather systems while emphasizing both their beauty and danger. As we admire this remarkable photograph from Science Photo Library, let us reflect on humanity's continuous efforts to understand and predict such powerful forces of nature. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect vulnerable communities in hurricane-prone regions while appreciating Earth's complex atmospheric dynamics.
