Get you up to speed: Astronaut’s image of ‘super typhoon’ from 250 miles above Earth shows just how terrifying it is | News Weird

NASA astronaut Anil Menon captured a photograph of a super typhoon from the International Space Station on August 2, showcasing the storm over the Pacific Ocean. China has evacuated over 1,000,000 residents from Zhejiang province after the typhoon brought heavy rain and winds of 94 mph, triggering a red alert.

NASA astronauts are now permitted to carry personal smartphones during missions, enabling the capture of images such as the one taken by Anil Menon from the ISS on August 2. The typhoon, believed to be Super Typhoon Dolphin, strengthened significantly over warm waters before affecting Japan earlier this month.

NASA astronaut Anil Menon shared an image of a super typhoon captured from the International Space Station, highlighting the storm’s scale and potential danger. In response to the severe weather, China has evacuated over 1,000,000 residents from the Zhejiang province after issuing a red alert due to heavy rain and winds reaching 94mph.

What remains unclear — It is not confirmed whether Super Typhoon Dolphin has caused any casualties in China.

Astronaut captures super typhoon photo from 250 miles above Earth

A jaw-dropping photo taken with an iPhone 250 miles above Earth has captured the incredible sight of a super typhoon over the Pacific Ocean.

The image was taken by Nasa astronaut Anil Menon while aboard the International Space Station (ISS), offering a stunning bird’s-eye view of the colossal storm system churning across the ocean below.

The picture, which was taken on August 2, reveals a tightly wound spiral of towering cloud bands wrapped around a clearly defined eye as the cyclone made its way across the western Pacific.

While the dramatic photo looked like it had been photographed using specialist camera equipment, it was actually taken on an iPhone – a capability made possible after Nasa recently began allowing astronauts to carry personal smartphones on missions.

Sharing the image, Menon wrote: ‘The Pacific Ocean this morning from the cupola with an iPhone.’

Viewed from orbit, the immense scale of the weather system becomes clear, with the storm dominating hundreds of miles of open ocean in a single frame.

He didn’t identify the storm by name, but Menon’s image is believed to have captured Super Typhoon Dolphin, which rapidly strengthened over exceptionally warm waters before moving towards Japan earlier this week.

China has evacuated more than 1,000,000 from their homes after the typhoon brought heavy rain and strong winds, triggering a red alert.

Winds hit 94mph when it hit the Zhejiang province on Sunday.

The photograph was taken from the ISS’s Cupola – a seven-window observation module widely regarded as offering astronauts the best views of Earth.

Meloni and Frederiksen affirm commitment to tougher EU migration policies

Published on

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni published a joint statement with the Danish Premier Mette Frederiksen on Monday, confirming their united front in the fight against “uncontrolled migration”, vowing to “protect” Europe’s Christian cultural heritage.

The statement notes that the two are the only female leaders of European governments and, despite coming from different political backgrounds and geographical realities, are united by a shared commitment to defending Europe.

“We do not accept uncontrolled immigration into Europe, and we have promoted a rigorous migration policy, both in our own countries and across Europe,” Meloni said in a Facebook post.

“No one can deny the negative impacts of illegal immigration on our societies: rising crime rates, increasing pressure on public services and an erosion of public trust. It is particularly serious when illegal migrants, who have no right to remain in our countries, commit violent crimes, traffic drugs or are responsible for sexual violence,” the post reads.

Frederiksen and Meloni have recently emerged as the EU’s most vocal advocates for a tougher migration policy, notably since the crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, which saw tens of thousands of irregular migrants crossing the border within hours.

In response, Italy and Denmark led an open letter to the EU institutions, signed by a total of 22 member states, calling for coordinated action to combat illegal migration, strengthen external borders and address so-called “pull factors.”

For the two leaders, ordinary citizens have paid too high a price for uncontrolled migration for too long — a tougher approach to migrants who have committed serious crimes, they argue, means greater security and protection for communities.

“So what more can we do? We need to set up repatriation centres in third countries, as well as other innovative solutions outside Europe. We are working hard on this,” the post reads, referring to return hubs, an approach Italy has been trialling in Albania and that was recently written into a controversial EU law.

“But this is not enough. Compliance with our laws must go hand in hand with respect for European values. This applies to irregular migrants, but also to the millions of foreign nationals living legally in our countries and across Europe,” the statement adds.

For the two prime ministers, the migration issue ultimately comes down to respect for Europe’s Christian cultural heritage and shared values, which both vowed to defend.
