    NASA Explorers S3 E1: Seeing Through Smoke

    To understand fires on Earth, you need a broad view — spanning from the poles to the equator and looking from high above the planet to down deep under the soil. That’s where #NASAExplorers come in! With satellites, with airplanes, with their own hands and with a data record spanning decades, Explorers are studying how our planet burns… and how that burning changes with the climate. This season, we’re headed to the western Pacific Ocean to the Northwest Territories and beyond to look fires on Earth.

    NASA Explorers: Fires

    Fire. It’s one of the things that makes Earth so unusual. This season has been one of extremes, with large fires burning from the tropical rainforest to north of the Arctic circle. NASA Explorers have been there every step of the way, investigating the fires as they burn and tracking their effects down the line. From satellites, airplanes, on the ground and in the lab, NASA Explorers are working to understand our home planet and how it burns.

    Join us this October as we take a closer look at fire and the people who study it. #S3E0
