@design_RG wow, no clouds that day over the entire continent and surrounding waters how convenient... and look at that wonderful smokeless fire, never realized Australian vegetation was made of iron.
Fortunately digging through the several layers of misinformation, using the provided link, one can arrive at the truth of this being a visualization of some data collected over long period of time made by some random guy.
@namark Thank you for doing due diligence on the photo above, Namark. I took it as a real photo, not a collage of time lapsed data.
do you have any links to these resources you mentioned?

@namark I recalled now -- that I found this photo and was impressed by it, it had just been posted at ms.social, and I copied it and the op link to bridge over here.
No replies to it at that time, and I got into many other things afterwards. Good that you brought this in. 👍
