'I've seen many from here, but none like this,' NASA astronaut tweets
"I've seen many from here, but none like this."
That's how NASA astronaut Reid Weisman described seeing Super Typhoon Vongfong from his perch on the International Space Station.
Weisman tweeted an image of the cyclone as it continues to churn toward Japan in the western Pacific, packing winds of 150 mph.
Forecasters say the powerful storm, equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane, is expected to make landfall Monday night.
Before that, the cyclone is expected to pass by U.S. military islands Kadena and Okinawa on Saturday and Sunday.
Weisman appears to have a pretty good view. He later tweeted a photo of the sunrise, "number 3 of 16," from the space station on Wednesday, and a picture of the northern lights under a full moon."

This could bring us some weather in the long run...
