Cyclone Rita over S. E. Asia showing the eye
Cyclone from space. Optical image of a tropical cyclone, a violent storm, from space. The cyclone is the swirl of clouds surrounding the dark hole (the " eye", at upper centre). Cyclones are also known as hurricanes or typhoons. The " eye" is comprised of relatively calm, cloud-free air at a very low pressure. Around this " eye" are the cyclones strongest winds, blowing at over 119 kilometres per hour. Cyclones form in tropical regions and are caused by large-scale evaporation and convection due to warm sea temperatures. Photograph of Cyclone Rita over south-east Asia in October 1978.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the sheer power and beauty of Cyclone Rita as it looms over Southeast Asia. From the vantage point of space, we witness the awe-inspiring sight of this violent storm in all its glory. The swirling mass of clouds forms a mesmerizing pattern around the dark hole at its center, known as the "eye". The eye itself is a remarkable phenomenon, comprising an area of calmness amidst chaos. Here, one can find cloud-free skies and extremely low pressure. However, just beyond this tranquil core lies nature's fury unleashed - winds that exceed 119 kilometers per hour. Cyclones like Rita are not to be taken lightly; they are synonymous with hurricanes and typhoons due to their destructive potential. These colossal storms originate in tropical regions where warm sea temperatures fuel large-scale evaporation and convection. This particular photograph was captured in October 1978 by a manned Russian Soyuz spacecraft orbiting Earth. It serves as a testament to humanity's ability to observe and understand our planet's weather patterns from above. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of our world in the face of such extreme weather events. It is through scientific exploration and meteorological research that we strive to better comprehend these severe storms for improved preparedness and safety measures worldwide.
