Many in the Northeast are still cleaning up and scraping away Winter Storm Juno, which brought 3 feet of snow in some parts of New England, wind gusts as high as 78 mph and severe flooding in coastal areas. <\/p>\n
Images and time-lapse videos of the blizzard flooded social media earlier this week, but one NASA astronaut proved that the best view of a monster storm is always from space. Astronaut Terry W. Virts had a stunning view of Juno, tweeting photos and a video of the storm from the international space station as it hammered Massachusetts. <\/p>\n
The blizzard looks like a hurricane, Virts tweeted as the storm approached the eastern tip Boston. <\/p>\n
Heres what Juno looked like near peak intensity early Tuesday via the Suomi National Polar-orbiting satellite, operated by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Some of the clouds over the sea were also generating lightning, according to the Weather Channel. <\/p>\n
This image shows the storm in its organizing stage along the East Coast. Blizzard conditions were intact for 14 straight hours in Marshfield, Mass., the Weather Channel said. <\/p>\n
Astronaut Sam Cristoforetti from the European Space Agency offered another striking viewpoint of Earth from space, tweeting this photo on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
