Randy Bresnik, a NASA astronaut aboard the ISS, has been tweeting pictures of the Earth from space.

Randy Bresnik, one of the NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station or ISS, took to his Twitter page to show photos of the effects of the Hurricane Irma and the eye of Jose.

The effects of Hurricane Irma and the total damages produced by its passing have yet to be fully calculated. Presently, Irma has been downgraded yet again and is now a tropical storm after changing several times between Category 5 or 4 and then Category 3.

The NASA Astronaut Captured Media for Harvey, Irma, and Now Jose

Randy Bresnik has been on the ISS since July and has been sharing of images and media that he captured while up in space. Among them, the NASA astronaut released a series of images of Super Typhoon Noru as it formed over the Pacific.

Bresnik’s shares also captured the effects of Hurricane Harvey and now of Hurricane Irma and Jose. Through his images, the astronaut offers a more accurate sense of the scale of the hurricane, now downgraded to a tropical storm. The pictures also give a first look at the damages caused by Hurricane Irma on the Turks and Caicos.

He took photos of the islands a week apart. The shapes and sizes of Turks and Caicos are easily recognizable. However, the color of the two islands is strikingly different as the post-Irma images show the oceanic waters colored by the sand eddying out of them.

The NASA astronaut will remain in space until December, this year. He is part of the expeditions 52 and 53, being the Commander of the latter. He is using the robotic equipment to study the Earth from up in space. This is just a part of the ISS technology that casts its eye towards our planet and not the outer space.

For example, the Landsat, which is collecting four decades worth of data on Earth, shows the effects of Irma on the Virgin Gorda island’s vegetation.

While downgraded, Irma is still expected to pound its way across the southeastern U.S. as more rain is predicted to fall on the states of Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama through Wednesday.
