ordinarily , we see storm as clouds and rain , but there ’s invisible power lurking inside . This amazing orbiter shot show that hidden chaos in the form of sobriety wafture , blasting out from a tempest ’s center like wavelet in a pond .
Tropical Cyclone Mahasen , which you could see off to the right there , is heading through the Indian Ocean , due to make landfall in Bangladesh today . But on May 13 , the Suomi NPP satellite get a unequalled movie of Mahasen off the coast with its VIIRS Day - Night Band television camera .
The dash of luminosity you’re able to make out is actually the lightning flashes from the center of the storm , and the waves spreading outwards are graveness wave — rippling in both the water and the air above it — bursting out from the storm ’s core . And because of the moon ’s new stage , the clouds that would ordinarily get over this up are practically unseeable to the camera ’s infrared regard . It may look like a little dropped in a pool , but those are giant ripples you do n’t need to be close .
