Rocky Mountain Fires
| Title |
Rocky Mountain Fires |
| Description |
The Missionary Ridge Fire, 10 miles north of Durango, Colorado, has been burning since June 9. By July 4, 2002 the fire had consumed almost 73,000 acres in the San Juan National Forest, and destroyed 56 homes. At that time the blaze was 55 percent contained, but still threatened several subdivisions. This Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) image combines daytime and nighttime images acquired on June 30, 2002. The simulated natural color daytime image shows burned areas in dark blue and healthy vegetation in green. The red areas are active fires and hot areas captured during the nighttime data acquisition using ASTER?s thermal infrared channels. The right side of the image was only captured at night. The image covers an area of 40 x 38 km (25 x 24 miles). More news about current wildfires in the United States is available from the National Fire Information Center.

Grand Canyon, Colorado as seen from STS-62 |
| Description |
In this view, the Colorado River can be seen flowing southwest from top left to bottom center-right. The dark wider sections of the river are the water surface of Lake Powell (center, and top left), 110 miles long in a straight line. Grand Canyon National Monument lies lower right, centered on the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, a 10 mile-wide gash carved more than 5,000 feet deep by the Colorado. The Canyon has cut into the Kaibab Plateau, an uplifted area visible here as a forested area with snow on the highest northern parts. The surrounding parts of the Colorado Plateau are sparsely occupied by brush vegetation and appear yellow-brown. The dark area top right is the wooded country of Black Mesa in Navajoland, divided from Lake Powell by the San Juan River. Four Corners is just outside the pictures (top) where the states of Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico meet. The Henry Mountains appear top left. Apart from Grand Canyon National Monument, several other famous national mo |
