New Delhi: As Hurricane Nicole continues to strengthen, heading toward Bermuda, NASA has released a satellite image that shows the storm's large eye.

As per NASA, the image of 'Hurricane Nicole' was created at 12 p.m. EDT on October 12 that showed it had a large eye.

The storm was well-rounded with feeder bands of thunderstorms wrapped tightly around the eye and from a band east of the center, says NASA.

And at 11 a.m. EDT, the large eye of Hurricane Nicole was located near about 295 miles (480 km) south-southwest of Bermuda near 28.4 degrees north latitude and 66.9 degrees west longitude.

NOAA manages the GOES series of satellites and the NASA/NOAA GOES Project creates images and animations from the data.
