A super typhoon and another typhoon churning in the Pacific Ocean look absolutely beautiful from space.
Japan's Himawari-8 weather satellite has captured some incredible views of Super Typhoon Atsani and Typhoon Goni as they intensify over water in the Pacific.
Both storms remain over open water now in the Northwest Pacific Basin, but they could threaten Southeast Asia in the coming days.
Himawari-8 took an amazing image of the two storms, Typhoon Goni and Super Typhoon Atsani -- a huge storm with winds equivalent to those of a category 5 hurricane -- as the sun rose above them on Aug. 20, local time.
At the moment, it looks like Atsani will head toward Japan and then curve away before making landfall, with Goni's track potentially bringing it toward a close brush with Taiwan and hitting Japan's Shikoku Islands, which have been hit by several storms this year.
A close brush with another typhoon could be potentially devastating for parts of Taiwan hammered by more than 50 inches of rain when Super Typhoon Soudelor made landfall last week. There is still a fair amount of uncertainty with Goni's track as predicted by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, however.
At the time of the last JTWC warning Wednesday, Typhoon Goni clocked in with sustained winds at 132 mph, or 115 knots.
Super Typhoon Atsani's has sustained winds of 155 mph, 135 knots, according to the JTWC. Atsani is now the seventh category-5 hurricane-equivalent storm to form on Earth this year.
