 In this video taken within Hurricane nigel's eye, it appears  to be utterly horrifying

As Hurricane Nigel moved  across the Atlantic Ocean, astronauts and satellites monitored it from space

Between September 19 and September 20, the NOAA  GOES-East satellite observed Hurricane Nigel, the sixth storm  of the current hurricane season, churning over the Atlantic Ocean.

On September 19, the  Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite  of the European Space  Agency also captured images  of Hurricane Nigel and  its sizable stormy eye

Hurricane Nigel looked to  cover the Atlantic Ocean in a  dense blanket of white storm clouds 

The crew's direct passage over Nigel's eye provided a unique vantage position from which to view the developing storm.

As these two elements  powered the storm system, satellite photographs showed an aerial perspective of the hurricane's enormous eye and its elaborately revolving clouds

when Bermuda was  around 1,000 km (621 miles) southeast of the storm's  location. The hurricane  was still categorised  as a Category 1  hurricane at the time
