The awe-inspiring images reveal the immense scale of the cyclone, which is expected to make landfall in Gujarat on June 15.
Al-Neyadi took to Twitter to share his experience, stating, "The ISS provides a unique perspective on several natural phenomena, which can assist experts on Earth in weather monitoring." His four-minute video showcases the cyclone's development after passing over the UAE and Oman in the Arabian Peninsula, featuring vast cloud formations resembling thunderstorms as he attempts to focus on the eye of the storm.
