3D “visualisation” of the fires in Australia, made from NASA satellite data

According to Drive Locations Au:
NOTE: Data for top half of Australia is mostly innacurate due to the satellites picking up heat emitted from sources other than fire. Scale is exaggerated due to the render’s glow, but generally true to the info from the NASA website.
This is made from data from NASA’s FIRMS (Satellite data regarding fires) between 05/12/19 - 05/01/20.
These are all the areas which have been affected by bushfires but not all the areas are still burning.
NOTE that NOT all the areas are still burning, and this is a compilation.

Everything but the desert burning?

This is the hottest picture right now and i don't even like it

As long as rich people in power are getting richer that's all that matters. That's what this world has become.

For anyone in Brisbane who is interested, there is a protest at King George Square at 5pm on Friday (look up Sack Scomo on fb if you want).

Australians are hailing the Ori.
TheFastpaws
Seriously toss the damn PM into the fire and declare a state of emergency so the UN and world powers can help more!

Australia looking crispier than Dracula's final bride.

One of those is the crowd at a Jimmy Barnes concert holding up their lighters.

Mordor? Australia is now Mordor? You can't simply walk there, either.

Dumb American here on dates. Literally thought: "Bullshit, we haven't hit May 1st, 2020 yet".
msgoodynot
Haha! Sorry, Aussie thing...
redletterservices
You mean not all the shit’s on fire, yo?
msgoodynot
Yeah, no.
handbanana10
Looks like everything that can burn is on fire
ThongsAreFootwear
FAKE: Far North Queensland, The Red Centre and The Kimberly ARE NOT BURNING.

This is NOT a photography, but a HEATMAP of fires that occured in Australia in the last time. Also fires that have been lit off

All those poisonous creatures : (

Without the 3d, but with parameters to see over time https://myfirewatch.landgate.wa.gov.au/
BadKarmaAUS
I prefer https://hotspots.dea.ga.gov.au/ Note these are satellite coverage dependent (no passes over big NSW or VIC fires in last 18hrs).
IsaacNuetron
Thanks, it's nice(r).
Photus
Oh hey, there's the fire near my house! I'm relevant!
DaisyfromDownunder
Totally wrong. The Great Sandy Desert is mostly uninhabited sand and scrub. Nothing to burn.
msgoodynot
True. It is wrong, that's why the caption.
SoSteezy
Wait a minute wait a minute...this says the data is from May 2019 to May 2020...i want the names of those with access to the future please!
TheShittyWizard
Hello American.
SoSteezy
Hello space traveler
msgoodynot
Haha!
Chronomechanist
I don't see what all the fuss is about! Look at that big bit in the middle with no fires at all!
Hardcorefallout
Ain't that the outback though?
HumanoidTyph00n
No thats the simpson desert the outback is everything surrounding it
BadKarmaAUS
If you want to live underground. There be desert.
TheWarHymn
There's water, but its about a few hundred metres below ground in most places.

Artist here - First off, WTF. This was made as a personal 3D test. Didn't expect this to flood the internet.
catfish08
First off, the post is slightly true. A little info - This image was made in 3D, using data from NASA's FIRMS 05/12/19 - 05/01/20
catfish08
The image does looks super intense, as it INCLUDES fire which are extinguished AND currently still burning. Now for exaggeration...
catfish08
Scale makes it looks really intense, which is intentional. It's digital art. BUT all fires, big or small, are truthful.
catfish08
Australia's ow NAFI - https://www.firenorth.org.au/nafi3/ indicated hot spots in the same areas. So this is open to debate but -
catfish08
Fires have still been present in inland areas. TL;DR This is kinda of like a graph of past/present fires over a month's period.

Sorry to tell u half that area is sand ,highly exaggerated
msgoodynot
The exact reason why I reposted, so that people read the caption.
echonite
Where is the 3D part? This is just a 2D image.
Goodnewwseveryone
Where’s your fking glasses you newb?
msgoodynot
I reposted to correct the initial post by someone. She had the same title.
everythinglookslikesh1t
It's 3d as in it has the layout of the terrain and geology
DoctorBaboon42
You need a 3D monitor to see it
Greggless
Everything is 2D on a phone
iouoneusername
I'm guessing it's a 2D projection of a 3D model :P
NotAMorningPerson
This includes time as the third dimension, not depth.
HypoMix
cross your eyes and press your nose to the screen then move back
EggsaretheDevil
Color intensity is a dimension
echonite
Literally no one uses "3D" to mean X and Y spacial dimensions and 1 color dimension. Besides, this is more than 1 color dimension anyway.
EggsaretheDevil
I know :-)
leapinglollipops101
In all seriousness, can this possibly be stopped?
Mastodonic
"This" can be stopped because this image is complete garbage.
Exyr
Not by humans....but yes it will stop.
IsaacNuetron
When the fuel runs out...
PlatonicSex
There were bigger ones in 1971
TheShittyWizard
Yes. Dramatic reductions in global C02 emissions and carbon sequestration will reduce the risk.
JeffwiththeNukes
Only hope is rain.
HypoMix
Got rain in Gippsland today... it slowed the fire...
GodsFoot
Rain and containment
msgoodynot
Everyone is doing their own bits to help, except for some bloody arsonists who start fires deliberately & some who ignore the total fire ban
Adenocarcinoma
They should be tortured, weather is so bad here because of them
wewillgetourwetsgarneshedagain
Does Australia have the death penalty? I think examples should be made.
Adenocarcinoma
Death is too good for them
Exceptionelli
Burning at the stake maybe?
Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyznowyouknowyourabcscomealongandsing

Wait what? People set things on fire on purpose?
msgoodynot
Unfortunately, yes. Heartless people. https://www.spectator.com.au/2020/01/we-dont-just-have-a-bushfire-crisis-we-have-an-arson-crisis-too/
Andied
That almost made me puke to read. Shit.
Drakoth97
And the government who did nothing to stop this from happening in the first place
dominiklapierre360
What? Like they dint even care or anything?
TheShittyWizard
They have cut hundreds of millions from fire departments over the last few years because they don't think climate change exists.
Drakoth97
Cut funding to fire departments and their prime minister is a coward
kakivara
Can what possibly be stopped? Wild fires? No. They're a necessary part of the planet.
TheShittyWizard
Over 16 MILLION acres has burnt so far and counting. This is not normal or necessary. Some species and systems will never recover fully.
TheShittyWizard
You have completely failed to understand the extent of the catastrophe and devastation.
kakivara
I think I understand the scale. It's also a factual statement that wildfires in general are a necessary part of ecosystems.
TheShittyWizard
That number has now increased to over 21million acres and rising. These fires have been so devastating some ecosystems will never recover.
