NASA Aqua Satellite Image of Heidi

Caption

NASA's Aqua satellite passed over Heidi on Jan. 12, 2012, at 06:00 UTC (1 a.m. EST) and captured a visible image of the storm. The image showed that Heidi maintained her well-rounded shape and even appeared to hint at an eye in the center after making landfall on the Pilbara Coast of Western Australia.
