A NASA astronaut revealed his bone-chilling view of Hurricane Milton from outer space on Tuesday, as the deadly Category 4 storm barrels towards Florida, threatening millions in the Sunshine State.
Matthew Dominick posted the incredible view of Hurricane Milton from the Dragon Endeavor spacecraft. The astronaut is a member of the SpaceX Crew-8 mission, which has been delayed because of the storm.
Dominick wrote that his followers can "Expect lots of images from this window as this is where I'm sleeping while we wait to undock and return to Earth."
We flew over Hurricane Milton about 90 minutes ago. Here is the view out the Dragon Endeavour window. Expect lots of images from this window as this is where I'm sleeping while we wait to undock and return to Earth.
