Oil Fire in Jaipur (India)


A fire at an oil depot south of Jiapur, India, that began on October 29, 2009, was still burning on November 2 when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image. At the time of this image, winds were pushing a black plume of smoke southeast toward the Banas River, however, at other times, the smoke blew northward into the city.
