Hurricane Ivan from the Space Station
Explanation: Ninety percent of the houses on
Grenada
were damaged by the destructive force of
Hurricane Ivan
. At its peak,
Ivan
was a
Category 5 hurricane
, the highest power category on the
Saffir-Simpson Scale
, and created sustained
winds
in excess of 200 kilometers per hour. Ivan was the largest
hurricane to strike the US
in 2004, and, so far, the 10th most powerful in recorded history. As it swirled in the
Atlantic Ocean
, the tremendous
eye
of Hurricane Ivan was
photographed from above
by the orbiting
International Space Station
. The name Ivan has now been retired from Atlantic Ocean use by the
World Meteorological Organization
. Note: Astronomy lectures by an APOD editor are now
available as a free podcast
.
