- Reason
- Quality image of Hurricane Milton at its peak intensity (Category 5) over the Gulf of Mexico in October 2024. We have very few hurricane FPs that show the curvature of Earth. This shows it and I think that's a plus. This was shot from the International Space Station. The control arm on top helps establish the viewing angle/location. The image is noisy, but I think the high pixel count more or less makes up for it.
