<br />Sept. 18, 2003: If you happened to be in North Carolina, the sight of advancing Hurricane Isabel was surely unwelcome. From space, though, it was a thing of beauty.<br />NASA's Terra satellite took this picture at 11:50 a.m. EDT on Sept. 18th just as heart of Isabel was making landfall. Red-, green- and blue-filtered images were combined to create a true-color view of the dangerous storm. A similar image was captured on Sept. 17th by NASA's Aqua satellite.<br />"The colors are natural," says Gary Jedlovec, a climate scientist at the National Space Science and Technology Center in Huntsville, AL. "This is what an astronaut would see looking down on the hurricane from orbit."
That thumbnail picture just doesn't do the <br />storm Justice. It needs to be larger,to get a <br />closer look. I can hardly see the screen as it is.
No,<br />Well, it looked a heck of a lot bigger on my screen than it does here. If I included the web page so you could go there yourself, would it have helped?
No apology nec., No. And wouldn't you know, on this computer I can't find that precise web page (it's in my "favorites" at home...), but here's one I did find from the NASA web:<br /> NASA ISS Pics
