As the California Wildfires continue to cause all sorts of havoc and destruction in the southern portion of that state, Astronautsย circling the Earth have given their perspective on the environmental crisis.
The pictures are pretty incredible.
I was asked this evening if we can see the SoCal fires from space. Yes Faith, unfortunately we can. May the Santa Anaโs die down soon. #Californiawildfire pic.twitter.com/qNzjTjWa4t
