A little 3D visualisation of the fires in Aus. This is made from data from NASA’s FIRMS (Satellite data regarding fires) between 05/12/19 – 05/01/20. These are all the areas which have been affected by bushfires. Scale is a little exaggerated due to the render’s glow. Also note that not all the areas are still burning. _ #bushfires #render #visualisation #data #3d #australia #climatechange #disaster #fire #infographic #cinema4d #graphic #nasa

Anthony Hearsay posted this image he created to visualize all Australian Fires that happened the last month. While the data he took is accurate (Source: Firms) it is important to underline that this is a rendering and the glow exaggerated.

A more accurate image is todays image from the Japanese Himawari satellite:

Still, what matters is that this is a big disaster for Australia and I corss my fingers everything will be over soon for them!
