A vantage point 250 miles above Earth is the perfect spot to observe weather on Earth and aurora lights created by space weather.
When Hurricane Beryl became the strongest Atlantic hurricane on record in June, Dominick focused his camera lens on Beryl around the time of its first landfall in the Caribbean islands.
