PIX4674039: Hurricane Dean seen from shuttle Endeavour - The hurricane Dean - Hurricane Dean seen by the crew of shuttle Endeavour August 18, 2007. 18 Aug. 2007 Crewmembers on the Space Shuttle Endeavour captured this image around noon CDT of hurricane Dean in the Caribbean. At the time the shuttle and International Space Station passed overhead, the Category 4 storm was moving westerly at 17 mph nearing Jamaica carrying sustained winds of 150 mph / Bridgeman Images
PIX4674069: Fay Tropical Tempete seen from space - 08/2008 - Tropical storm Fay seen from space - 08/2008 - The Fay Tropical Tempete above Florida, seen on August 19, 2008 from the International Space Station. 19 Aug. 2008 - This frame is a westward - looking oblique view of Tropical Storm Fay, as seen on Aug. 19, 2008 from the International Space Station from a vantage point of 220 statute miles above the Atlantic Ocean just northeast of the Bahama Islands (approximately 28.4 degrees north latitude and 75.0 degrees west longitude). Fay had sustained winds of 55 nautical miles per hour with gusts to 65 nautical miles per hour and was estimated to be centered just northwest of Lake Okeechobee, Florida (around 27.3 degrees north latitude and 81.0 degrees west longitude. This panoramic view includes the Gulf of Mexico to the west of the storm / Bridgeman Images
PIX4674088: Low pressure system off Iceland - Low - pressure system near Iceland coasts. - Low pressure region near Iceland coast seen by Aqua satellite on September 4, 2003. A beautifully - formed low - pressure system swirls off the southeastern coast of Greenland, illustrating the maxim that nature abhors a vacuum.” The vacuum in this case would be a region of low atmospheric pressure. In order to fill this void, air from a nearby high - pressure system moves in, in this case bringing clouds along for the ride. And because this low - pressure system occurred in the Northern Hemisphere, the winds spun in toward the center of the low - pressure system in a counter - clockwise direction; a phenomenon known as the Coriolis force (in the Southern Hemisphere, the Coriolis force would be manifested in a clockwise direction of movement). The clouds in the image resembled pulled cotton and lace as they spun in a lazy hurricane - like pattern. This huge system swirled over the Denmark Strait in between Greenland and Iceland. The image was taken by the Aqua MODIS instrument on September 4, 2003. / Bridgeman Images
