Film Type: 4x5 Date Taken: 09/20/92
Title: Hurricane Bonnie, Northeast of Bermuda, Atlantic Ocean
Description:
Hurricane Bonnie was over the North Atlantic Ocean about 500 miles
northeast of Bermuda (39.0N, 56.5W) when this photo was taken. Compare
this view with Hurricane Iniki, also photographed on this mission
(STS-47-77-058). Bonnie is small but in her prime, having a well defined
eye, a tight spiral gyre indicating high wind speeds and numerous
thunderheads. Iniki, on the other hand, was decaying when photographed
and no longer presented a threat.
