NASA Infrared Image Shows Phet Leaving Oman

Caption

NASA's AIRS instrument on the Aqua satellite captured an infrared image of Cyclone Phet on June 4 at 0947 UTC. The image shows that Phet's center (yellow circle) was leaving the Oman coast at that time. The high cold thunderstorms that surround the center appear in purple (and are as cold as -63 Fahrenheit).
