This picture was featured on as the APOD for the first day of September. The picture depicts a forest fire in Bitterwoot Valley in Montana. The information given in the description deals a lot with explaing causes and features of fire. For example, fire is the rapid acquisution of oxygen (key indicator of life) thus fire on any planet would be an indicator of life. Fires are also considred part of nature on Earth and can even be observed from orbit. This is what I found the most fascinating because from the APOD website I was linked to
a very interesting article in which I learned that with the advanced of NASA's technology we can now see fires from space.
