The bulbous blue orb of Earth as seen from above. On its face, on the left, a giant white swirl of this cloud, a hurricane. On the bottom right, within the sliver of black space beneath the Earth, a white spacecraft is partially seen.

SpaceX is offering free access to its Starlink broadband services for the rest of 2024 in areas affected by hurricanes Helene and Milton. 

Starlink is a satellite internet service developed by SpaceX. It uses a constellation of thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit to provide high-speed internet access to users on the ground.
