Typhoons Odessa and Pat, seen from Shuttle 51-I
Tropical typhoons over the western Pacific, photographed by the crew of space shuttle Discovery during Mission 51-I (27 August to 3 September, 1985). The typhoons are Odessa (far left) and Pat. The swirling cloud structure of Typhoon Pat is particularly clear. The centre of the typhoon (the eye ) is well delineated, as is a line of massive cumulonimbus thunder clouds on the far side of the storm. The winds inside a typhoon system reach hurricane levels, although the eye normally has no wind and little cloud cover

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the sheer power and beauty of nature's fury as seen from space. Taken by the crew of space shuttle Discovery during Mission 51-I in August 1985, it showcases two formidable typhoons named Odessa and Pat over the western Pacific. In this mesmerizing image, Typhoon Pat steals the spotlight with its swirling cloud structure that is strikingly clear. The center of this colossal storm, known as the eye, stands out distinctly against a backdrop of massive cumulonimbus thunder clouds on its far side. It is fascinating to note that while hurricane-level winds rage within a typhoon system, the eye remains eerily calm with minimal cloud cover. The photograph serves as a testament to both the extreme forces at play in our planet's climate and humanity's ability to witness these phenomena from an entirely new perspective – outer space. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring sight, we are reminded of how small we truly are compared to Mother Nature's might. Science Photo Library presents us with yet another remarkable visual masterpiece showcasing their expertise in capturing extraordinary moments like this one. This print not only offers a glimpse into Earth's severe storms but also invites us to appreciate the intricate wonders hidden within our atmosphere.
