Heres the view from space by NASA satellites. This crisis has been unfolding for years. Europes Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission has captured the multiple bushfires burning across Australias east coast.
Rather it was a 3D visualization of the Australian fires. But please note that the top image is not an actual photograph its just a compilation of all the fires this season. The ugly truth about viral image of bushfires from space.
NASAs Terra satellite captured this image of the fires and the smoke pouring off the edge of Australia and into the southern Pacific Ocean on Nov. If Australian communities are to do the same then it is important that we are able to accurately map and monitor fires on a near real-time basis. Australias massive fires as seen from space Maps and images show where the fires are and how much smoke theyve created.
The fires likely started naturally though experts think human-caused climate disruption has exacerbated hot arid conditions that fuel the growth of such blazes. Australias deadly wildfires have killed at least 17 people since they began in September 2019 and continued into January 2020. NASA LANCE Fire Information for Resource Management System provides near real-time active fire data from MODIS and VIIRS to meet the needs of firefighters scientists and users interested in monitoring fires.
On 7 January the red and orange fire symbols in the MyFireWatch map of New South Wales NSW are all ranked as advice alerts by the NSW rural fire service. 3 and 4 from the International Space Station orbiting 433 kilometres above the Tasman Sea show wildfires surrounding Sydney Australia.
