STS047-151-618 (19 Sept 1992) --- A large format Earth observation camera captured this scene of Hurricane Bonnie during the late phase of the mission. Bonnie was located about 500 miles from Bermuda near a point centered at 35.4 degrees north latitude and 56.8 degrees west longitude. The Linhof camera was aimed through one of Space Shuttle Endeavour's aft flight deck windows (note slight reflection at right). The crew members noticed the well defined eye in this hurricane, compared to an almost non-existent eye in the case of Hurricane Iniki, which was relatively broken up by the mission's beginning. Six NASA astronauts and a Japanese payload specialist conducted eight days of in-space research.
