Hurricane Irene as Seen from Space by NASA Goddard Photo and Video on Flickr.Via Flickr:
An Expedition 28 crew member aboard the International Space Station captured this image of Hurricane Irene off the east coast of the United States on Friday, August 26, 2011, around 4:30 p.m. EDT (8:30 p.m. GMT).
Another treatment of a fiery Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) with stunning, bright details in the ejected material. In this composite image, an EIT image of the Sun in extreme UV light, taken at about the same time (January 4, 2002), was enlarged and superimposed on LASCO C2. In coronagraph images, direct sunlight is blocked by an occulter (covered by the Sun here) to reveal the surrounding faint corona.
