Sometime between 4 July and 7 July, tropical cyclone Neoguri turned into a supertyphoon over the western Pacific Ocean, with winds exceeding 240 kilometres an hour. This picture was taken from the International Space Station by German astronaut Alexander Gerst, who wrote: “Just went right above Supertyphoon Neoguri. It is ENORMOUS. Watch out, Japan!”(courtsy : Nature.com)
