Wildfires in New South Wales, Australia
This image of wildfires in New South Wales, Australia was captured by the MODIS intrument on NASA's Aqua satellite.
Over 200 properties have been destroyed so far. The wildfire season in Australia is starting earlier than normal this year due to unseasonably dry and hot weather.
Other fires in Victoria have done damage as well. This wildfire season is so far not as bad as the firestorms from 2009, but it is still very early on.
