Title: Hurricane Ellen over the Atlantic Ocean taken by Skylab 3 crewmen
Description:
The swirling clouds of Hurricane Ellen (31.0N, 54.0W) over the Atlantic
Ocean are shown clearly in this 70mm photograph taken by the Skylab 3
crewmen. No well defined eye is apparent; a cirrus cloud cap covers the
storm, with wisps of the ice crystal layer of this cloud visible even
beyond the storm and strong pattern of rotating clouds.
