A high-definition camera outside the International Space Station captured this view of the eye of Hurricane Florence moving across the Atlantic in a west-north-westerly direction with winds of 130 miles an hour. Tweeting from aboard the International Space Station, ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst shared: ‘Ever stared down the gaping eye of a category 4 hurricane? It’s chilling, even from space’.
