Hurricane Earl Photographed From Space

An astronaut on the International Space Station has photographed Hurricane Earl as it heads towards the U.S. coast as a powerful Category 4 storm.

American astronaut Douglas Wheelock of NASA has been photographing hurricanes from windows on the International Space Station and posting them on Twitter. Hurricane Earl is his latest target, though he also caught stunning views of Hurricane Danielle recently.

"Hurricane Earl is gathering some strength," Wheelock wrote Tuesday on Twitter, where he is chronicling his space mission under the name Astro_Wheels. "It is incredible what a difference a day makes when you're dealing with this force of nature. Please keep a watchful eye on this one ... not sure if Earl will go quietly into the night like Danielle."
