Image of Cyclone Catarina taken by the Astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Previously, a hurricane image was rejected as an FP because it was an image created by a computer, but this is the real deal. Simply put: beautiful. Just look at the amazing detail, such as the shadows of the clouds cast onto the ocean.

- Support - Previous candidate with the space station in the foreground was distracting, this one is good. -- Chris 73 Talk 12:11, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Support - great picture - Adrian Pingstone 20:38, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose.. Maybe if the eye were more centered and the entire storm was in the field of view. -- ScottyBoy900Q ∞ 03:27, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
- Support: spectacular. Raven4x4x 09:54, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose-- It just doesn't do a good job of showing the storm as a whole. I still like the other one better, despite the fact that a part of the space station was in the photo. TomStar81 02:46, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm not really sure what you mean by the storm not being shown "as a whole". Check
this satellite image which seems to have been taken at around the same time; unless you want the clouds that continue for hundreds of miles, I'm not sure how much better it could be. --

- The satellite picture is more of what I look for in a hurricane, it looks more authentic to me, and in my opinion it does a much better job of illistrating Hurricane. TomStar81 01:32, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- Support - Great cloud coverage. -- ZeWrestler Talk 03:39, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- Support, we'll probably never have another chance to get a picture of a hurricane in the Southern Atlantic again. At least not from this perspective anytime soon. Tito xd 07:06, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
