NASA's TRMM satellite peers beneath the clouds to capture this view of Hurricane Ike. The 12 km towers in the outer band, shown in red, lead scientists to believe that the inner eye is eroding as the outer bands are becoming better defined. This could limit rapid intensity development in the very near term.
