Picture of the day

The eye of Hurricane Isabel as seen from the International Space Station, five days before it made landfall on the Outer Banks of North Carolina on September 18, 2003. At the time of the image, Isabel was located about 450 miles (720 km) northeast of Puerto Rico, and had weakened to a Category 4 hurricane, from its peak as a Category 5.Photo credit: Ed Lu
