  "textContent": "Seán Doran, who I’ve featured here many times before for his remastered astronomy photos & videos, has taken photographs captured by a Japanese weather satellite of Typhoon Sinlaku in April 2026 and “repaired, remastered and transformed” the images into this breathtaking 4K video.\n\nThe beauty of the storm as seen from above belies its fury and destructiveness. Sinlaku was “strongest tropical cyclone in the Northern Hemisphere” since 2021 and the strongest overall storm so far in 2026. The Mariana Islands, Guam, and Micronesia all suffered widespread damage and the storm has claimed 17 lives so far.\n\n**Tags:** hurricanes · mesmerizing · satellite imagery · Sean Doran · video · weather",
