| Title |
Bushfires Raging in Southeast Australia |
| Description |
The smoke plume from fires in southeast Australia was 300 kilometers (186 miles) wide in places and more than 877 kilometers (545 miles) long on February 4, 2003. Fires have been burning out of control in the region for several weeks, even invading urban areas such as Canberra, the nation's capital. This true-color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image was captured by the Aqua satellite. The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at MODIS' maximum spatial resolution of 250 meters. Image courtesy Jacques Descloitres, MODIS Rapid Response Team at NASA GSFC |

Fires in Southeast Australia
| Title |
Fires in Southeast Australia |
| Description |
Although the official New South Wales fire danger season is over, the threat of bushfires still remains. This image of southeast New South Wales shows several scattered fires (yellow with red outlines) burning southeast of Canberra, including a fairly large and smoky one near the coast. Many localities have decided to extend the season through the end of April because of the persisting drought conditions. This image was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra satellite. Image by Jesse Allen, based on data from the MODIS Rapid Response Team at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. |
