California wildfires photographed by NASA satellite

NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this image of several fires as it passed over California on June 30, 2008. Numerous wildfires continue to burn out of control throughout California. Many of these fires were ignited in late June by dry lighting and made worse by parched conditions and a lack of rainfall, fire officials report. About 364,600 acres, or almost 570 square miles, of land throughout the state have already burned, and most of the blazes have not yet been contained. (UPI Photo/NASA)
