Fire Facts from a Boreal 🔥 Ecologist to help you understand what is really going on in Canada.

This is amazing - thanks for sharing @aravindEO
Here’s a breakdown of the at least 20 Earth observation satellites launching on the @SpaceX Transport-8 mission on Monday, June 12.
As always, there are first satellites from some companies, constellation updates for others and technology demonstrations 🚀
(Just look at this!)
