Tracking
Wildfires from Space
Friday, September 24, 2PM ET
What can we learn about wildfires, and their
extensive effects on our planet, from space? Using
OpenSpace data visualization software and wildfire data
collected from NASA satellites, the Museum’s Director of
Astrovisualization Carter Emmart and Natasha Stavros,
director of Earth Lab Analytics Hub, will take viewers on a
virtual flight to understand the natural behavior of fire
across multiple scales–from our solar system to our
home planet.
