Time-lapse images from high above
Earth show Hurricane Sandy bearing down on the East Coast, highlighting
the storm's enormous size.
NASA's Earth Observatory
has released time-lapse animation of the powerful hurricane from a
satellite 22,300 miles above ground. The images reveal details of
Sandy's motion and eye wall.
Hurricane Sandy was shown
approximately 275 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., and
moving northeast at 14 mph during the time of the photographs. NASA
notes that the structures of the clouds are highlighted by the changing
angles of the sun.
The animation was created from
photos taken every minute from 7:15 a.m. to 6:26 p.m. ET on Sunday. More
images can be viewed at the Earth Observatory site.
The immense storm has prompted emergency evacuations, closed offices and delayed flights along the East Coast.
