The Solar Maximum Satellite Repair Mission astronauts had an excellent opportunity to look down the eye of Hurricane Kamysi over the Indian Ocean. Clear blue water can be seen through the eye. The crew reported that they could see the ocean waves below, through the eye of the storm; unfortunately the camera film could not pick them out.
