On May 18, 2015, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this natural-color image of Typhoon Dolphin near the Ogasawara (Bonin) Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The storm has weakened since it first intensified into a Category 5 storm on May 16. The center of Typhoon Dolphin tracked between Guam and Rota on May 15.
