From
space,
we
can
understand
fires
in
ways
that
are
impossible
from
the
ground.
New
Earth-observing
satellites
capture
the
significant
impact
of
fires
on
our
planet.
In
this
animation
of
fires
around
the
globe
in
2002,
each
red
dot
marks
a
new
fire.
Dots
change
color
to
yellow
after
a
few
days
and
to
