Burned area trends in the Amazon similar to previous years

Thousands of fires broke out in the Amazon last year – sparking an international media frenzy. A detailed analysis, using data from the European Space Agency’s Climate Change Initiative, indicates that while there was a small increase of fires in 2019 compared to 2018, fires in Brazil were similar to the average annual number of fires detected over the past 18 years.

SOFIA’s Infrared View of the Skies

w51_new_0.png
Composite image of W51A, the largest star-forming region in our galaxy. Dozens of massive stars that are more than eight times the size of our Sun are forming there. They create intense radiation pressure that has pushed dust out of the star’s natal cocoon, creating arcs and bubbles that glow brightly at infrared wavelengths of at 37 and 70 microns, shown in green and red in this false color image. Hot gas remains inside these features, which is shown in the 20-micron view in blue. The background star field from Spitzer is shown in white.
