Astronaut Terry Virts snimio je super-tajfun Maysak sa Međunarodne svemirske stanice.
"Oko tajfuna Maysak baš se ističe rano ujutro, dok senka pada duboko u vrtlog", napisao je Virts.
Tajfun Maysak je ove nedelje zahvatio zapadni deo Tihog okeana, a prate ga vetrovi brzine 260 kilometara na sat.
Astronautkinja Samantha Cristoforetti snimila je i samo oko tajfuna, koje je okruženo snažnim vetromima i kišom.
Inače ovaj super-tajfun već je oborio rekord svojim intenzitetom. Ipak, trebalo bi da oslabi dok dođe do FIlipina za dva dana.

Looking down into the eye – by far the widest one I’ve seen. It seemed like a black hole from a Sci-Fi movie #Maysak pic.twitter.com/hmdBStaY6r
