Hurricane KATRINA from Satellite
Spirals are everywhere! Here’s some impressive video of Hurricane Katrina spiraling onto the Gulf Coast in 2005. Huge and powerful.
Like all good fractals, spirals occur over a huge range of scales, from tiny seashells to gigantic galaxies.
(We’re looking for really hi-resolution hurricane video to include in the planetarium shows, but it’s hard to find. Anyone able to dig some up anywhere?)
