Hurricane Sandy’s angry eye and massive, 900-mile
wide body were seen from unequaled views in two original videos of the storm
captured and posted by the International Space Station by NASA , each taken
during a divide orbit of the station around Earth.
The vast swath of the storm and its
counter-clockwise spiraling winds show almost tranquil in these views, but can
be seen visibly edging nearer to landfall on the United States’ East Coast in
both images, which were captured by a remote-controlled camera external of the
station. The space station itself is orbiting Earth from 260 miles up and traveling at 17,000 miles-per-hour.
