Fires in Vietnam
Widespread agricultural burning continues throughout Vietnam.

Widespread agricultural burning continues throughout Vietnam. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument that flies aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured an image of smoke and fires burning on April 17 at 6:20 UTC (2:20 a.m. EDT/U.S.). The multiple red pixels are heat signatures (red) detected by MODIS. The smoke appears to be a light brown color.
