Keeping an Eye on Hurricane Florence
What do hurricanes look like from space? It depends on how you look! We have satellites, cameras and instruments all working together to give us the big picture of storms like Florence.
As the International Space Station passed over Hurricane Florence, astronauts and cameras on board got a look down into the hurricane’s eye.
Our Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission sees storms all around the planet by measuring rainfall. These measurements come from a constellation of satellites working together, including some from our partner organizations like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
On Sept. 7, our GPM core observatory satellite flew over Florence, capturing a 3D image as the storm’s clouds started to break apart before reforming.
Other NOAA satellites, like GOES, gather high-resolution, detailed views of hurricanes, letting us peek into the eye of the storm.
Zooming out a bit, the Suomi-NPP satellite helps us track Hurricane Florence, and the following tropical storms, as they move closer to landfall or dissipate over the ocean.
From farther away (a million miles from Earth!), the EPIC instrument on NOAA’s DSCOVR satellite captured images of all three of these storms as they moved closer to North America.

It’s release day for my buddy, Dave Connis’s The Temptation of Adam! Can’t wait to delve in. . . . So what’s it about? See below! 📚📚📚 Adam Hawthorne is fine. Yeah, his mother left, his older sister went with her, and his dad would rather read Nicholas Sparks novels than talk to him. And yeah, he spends his nights watching self-curated porn video playlists. But Adam is fine. When a family friend discovers Adam’s porn addiction, he’s forced to join an addiction support group: the self-proclaimed Knights of Vice. He goes because he has to, but the honesty of the Knights starts to slip past his defenses. Combine that with his sister’s out-of-the-blue return and the attention of a girl he meets in an AA meeting, and all the work Adam has put into being fine begins to unravel. . . . #TheTemptationofAdam #DaveConnis #DaveConnisRocks #yaliterature #yabooklovers

I love reading the #MyBeautifulTruth posts that @brownbookworm has started about what people don't see when they meet you. 😍💗 These are my truths... It's not easy for me to admit some of these and I've never publicly admitted to a few but I am me. This is my life. I am layers of the experiences I've had good or bad. What is your beautiful truth?
