(CNN) Stunning images of Typhoon Trami, currently projected to make landfall in mainland Japan on Sunday, have been captured by an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS). European astronaut Alexander Gerst posted the photos on Twitter Tuesday, noting that it looked "as if somebody pulled the planet's gigantic plug." Category 5 Super Typhoon Trami is unstoppable and heading for Japan and Taiwan. Gerst wrote that, from space, the storm looks "as if somebody pulled the planet's gigantic plug." By Wednesday, the storm had weakened and it is no longer considered a "super typhoon."
