The International Space Station's High-Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment captured views of Super Typhoon Maysak from space and broadcasted it live on Ustream.

Astronauts on board the ISS also took photos of the typhoon, which lashed the tiny island of Yap with strong winds and heavy rain on Tuesday.
