File:Fires in Burma, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam.jpg
Summary
In the first months of the year, it is not uncommon for <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Satellite&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Satellite (page does not exist)">satellites</a> to capture sights such as the one shown in this image: hundreds of active <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fire" title="Fire">fires</a> burning across the hills and valleys of <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Myanmar" class="mw-redirect" title="Myanmar">Myanmar</a>, <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Thailand" class="mw-redirect" title="Thailand">Thailand</a>, <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Laos" class="mw-redirect" title="Laos">Laos</a>, and <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Vietnam" class="mw-redirect" title="Vietnam">Vietnam</a>. (Fires are also present in southern <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/China" class="mw-redirect" title="China">China</a> and <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cambodia" class="mw-redirect" title="Cambodia">Cambodia</a>, are visible. The satellite detects fires not from visible <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Smoke" title="Smoke">smoke</a> plumes, but from thermal <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Infrared" title="Category:Infrared">infra-red</a> <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Energy" title="Category:Energy">energy</a> radiating from the surface. The heat energy is invisible in images like this, but the locations where the satellite detected fires are labelled with red dots.
