Image Caption: Large extratropical cyclone in the northern hemisphere (approx. 32deg. N, 159deg. W) is shown in this high oblique photo from Apollo 9 March 11, 1969. Very distinctive bands of clouds spiral in a counterclockwise motion into the storm's center. These storms are often larger than hurricanes so that a 50 mm lens is required to get the storm in one view.
