NASA Spots a Supertyphoon
"Watch out, Japan!" said European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst after taking this July 7 picture of Supertyphoon Neoguri from the International Space Station.
The supertyphoon lashed Okinawa this week, and at the time the photo was taken, was producing 150-mile-an-hour (240-kilometer-an-hour) winds.
The storm damaged buildings, cancelled flights, and is linked to one drowning; it has since lost its strength.
