And astronauts have been watching the storms, too — from a different angle.

On Tuesday, the International Space Station caught a spectacular view of both storms, as well as a powerful hurricane in the Atlantic.

The strongest storm in the video is Gaston, currently passing through the open ocean far from land. It’s a Category 3 storm, with maximum sustained winds of 120 miles per hour.

The two storms in the Pacific are more worrying for earth-dwellers. Madeline, a Category 1, is expected to pass just south of Hawaii’s big island before dawn on Thursday, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center says.

Hurricane Lester — also a Category 1, currently located more than a thousand miles east of Hawaii — might threaten the islands by this weekend, though it may have weakened to a tropical storm by then.

Also on Tuesday, NASA released an animation of satellite images showing the two storms forming and swirling in the Pacific.
