Hurricane Erin seen from the International Space Station
Why it matters: Footage from the ISS shows the vast cloud shield of Hurricane Erin over the Atlantic.
Cameras aboard the International Space Station captured Hurricane Erin over the Atlantic Ocean on August 19, 2025.
The storm's spiraling cloud bands spread across a large stretch of ocean and follow the curve of the Earth.
Observations from orbit help scientists understand the size and structure of major storms.
