Hurricane Fausto From the ISS | Storm Clouds Swirl Across the Pacific in 8K

Watch Hurricane Fausto swirl over the Pacific Ocean from the International Space Station in this 8K timelapse. AfarTV assembled the video from 3,300 sequential photographs captured on July 23, 2026. As the station continues its journey, its ground track crosses the United States and Canada. Look for Fausto’s broad spiral of clouds and the denser cloud formations around its center. On July 23, NASA reported that Fausto was a Category 1 hurricane over the eastern Pacific. By 2100 UTC, the National Hurricane Center estimated its maximum sustained winds at 85 mph (137 km/h). The storm was far offshore, west southwest of Baja California, and moving generally westward toward the central Pacific. The United States and Canada were beneath the station’s ground track during this sequence. Fausto was over the ocean, so the storm’s appearance in the camera view should not be mistaken for its center passing over either country. These photographs were captured during Expedition 74. Ten people were aboard on July 23, including station commander Sergey Kud-Sverchkov. The crew had recently welcomed Anil Menon, Pyotr Dubrov, and Anna Kikina, who arrived on July 14. That day, the astronauts and cosmonauts were conducting medical and biology research, checking spacesuits, and preparing for a change of command and the departure of three crew members. HELP BRING EARTH FROM SPACE INTO VR AfarTV’s vision is to place a 360° VR camera in orbit, sharing views of Earth 24 hours a day. We want people with VR headsets to feel closer to the experience of looking back at our planet from space.
