Spinning Toward Louisiana
Hurricane Lili spins across western Cuba and into the Gulf of Mexico at lower left in this October 1 image from NASA's orbiting Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor. Tropical Storm Kyle is over the Atlantic Ocean at right. Lili forced NASA to close its Mission Control Center in Houston, delaying the planned launch of space shuttle Atlantis to the International Space Station until Monday. A control center in Moscow assumed responsibility for the station for about 24 hours. [NASA/SEAWIFS]
