Fire on Earth
Sometimes, regions of Earth light up with fire, a rapid acquisition of oxygen that indicates the presence of life. While often tragic, fire is a natural part of many Earth ecosystems. Large forest fires, usually caused by lightning, can be seen from orbit. This image shows such a fire, highlighting the dynamic and sometimes destructive processes that shape our planet.
