NASA astronaut Don Pettit was able to capture a photo of a recent fire in La Porte, Texas yesterday. Our NASA Astronauts have the ability to observe natural disasters from a vantage point of 250 miles above Earth. The imagery and data provided from the International Space Station can provide benefits to regions that experience unexpected events such as fires, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and more. This information is valuable when monitoring disasters on Earth in real time.
