Hurricane Florence from space shuttle

Hurricane Florence. Photograph of the clouds associated with Hurricane Florence, taken from Space Shuttle Atlantis during Mission STS-66 of 3- 14 November 1994. This is a very typical hurricane system; a large-scale spiralling line of clouds over an intense weather front (bottom), a dense disc of thick clouds covering the storm region and a small, clear eye at the centre of the storm. Hurricane Florence is seen here over the Atlantic Ocean some 600 kilometres from the coast of Bermuda

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the sheer power and intensity of Hurricane Florence as seen from the vantage point of Space Shuttle Atlantis during Mission STS-66 in November 1994. The image showcases a textbook example of a hurricane system, with its characteristic large-scale spiraling line of clouds over an intense weather front at the bottom. A dense disc of thick clouds envelops the storm region, creating an ominous atmosphere that hints at the destructive forces within. At the heart of this tempest lies a small, clear eye—a deceptive calm amidst chaos—symbolizing nature's ability to create both beauty and devastation simultaneously. Hurricane Florence looms over the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 600 kilometers away from Bermuda's coast. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of our planet's ever-changing climate and highlights meteorology's crucial role in understanding severe storms like Hurricane Florence. Its striking spiral pattern is reminiscent not only of its immense power but also our interconnectedness with Earth's natural systems. Captured by Science Photo Library, this stunning image invites us to contemplate humanity's place within our dynamic environment while emphasizing both awe-inspiring beauty and potential danger that can arise from extreme weather events such as hurricanes.
