NASA’s International Space Station captured stunning footage of three hurricanes in the Pacific and Atlantic. The time-lapse video showed the expansive hurricanes from a unique angle, high above the Earth.

According to their blog, the space station’s cameras spotted the hurricanes Aug. 30. Hurricanes Lester and Madeline were seen in the Pacific Ocean and Hurricane Gaston was seen in the Atlantic. The two Pacific hurricanes had the potential to threaten Hawaii’s big island, according to the blog.
