Samantha Cristoforetti, unul dintre astronauţii aflaţi în prezent la bordul SSI, a realizat la 12 ianuarie 2015 această remarcabilă fotografie, ce surprinde momentul în care fulgerele luminează „ochiul” ciclonului Bansi, aflat deasupra Oceanului Indian.
„Ochiul furtunii” este zona aproape lipsită de nori care se formează în centrul unui ciclon; în cazul ciclonului Bansi, ochiul a atins un diametru de 32-64 km.
Bansi, iniţial doar o furtună tropicală, a întâlnit în sudul Oceanului Indian condiţii propice de a se dezvolta, devenind în cele din urmă un ciclon de forţa a patra, cu vânturi care au atins viteza de 185 km/h. Din fericire, însă, nu a trecut peste zone dens populate, ci a rămas deasupra oceanului, apoi a slăbit în intensitate şi a dispărut.
