The MODIS instrument onboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites captured this bird's-eye view of Typhoon's Parma and Ketsana churning in the western Pacific Ocean.
On its eighth day as a typhoon, Typhoon Parma continues to churn through the Northwest Pacific Ocean. When the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite captured this image on October 30, 2003, Parma still boasted 132 mile per hour winds. The storm was moving northeast away from Japan and was not expected to make landfall.
