Typhoons Melor and Parma in close proximity

Original - Two typhoons of the 2009 Pacific typhoon season—Parma (left) and Melor (right)—engaged in the Fujiwhara effect, which is where two tropical cyclones in close proximity "rotate" around each other

Reason

This image, recently promoted to FP at Commons, is a beautiful, high-resolution and educational illustration. I know satellite images of hurricanes are quite common, but this one stands out to me.
