Weird how if you look closely, you can see the flames on that pic. :o The smoke, after clearing up a bit nicely yesterday, came back again today. :cry:

Joshua, the flames are showing up as "hot" spots (AVHRR derived) and clearly defined, so yes, in a way, you can literally see the fires in that satellite shot.

Here's another shot I found from another site.

Ah I see; well of course it's hard to tell from the pic being from so far up in outer space. ;) Thanks SF.
