The International Space Station passed relatively near the eye of Typhoon Neoguri on July 7, and Expedition 40 Flight Engineer Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency captured its startling dimensions in a series of still photos. In a tweet, Gerst marveled that even with a fish-eye lens (which was used on some more distant angles other than this almost vertical one), he couldn't capture the whole storm. A 70mm focal length was used for a small sequence of medium wide eye pictures such as this one. The picture was taken at 21:53:09 GMT on July 7, 2014.
