(Gray News) – A timelapse taken by a NASA astronaut aboard the International Space Station shows the scope of Hurricane Milton from space.

Matthew Dominick shared the timelapse that he took Tuesday from the window of the Dragon Endeavor.

The video shows the International Space Station orbiting over Hurricane Milton in the Gulf of Mexico.

Dominick says he is staying in the Dragon Endeavor, which is docked to the International Space Station, until it is detached and deployed back to Earth.

Hurricane Milton regained strength Tuesday afternoon and was upgraded back to a Category 5 storm with its path heading towards Florida.
