NASA WATCHES WYOMING WILDFIRE

      A NASA instrument has captured images of the wildfire burning
through Bridger-Teton National Forest in the northwest part of Wyoming.
The so-called "Green Knoll" fire is reportedly 70 percent under control
after burning about 1,810 hectars (4,473 acres). 

     The images are available online at:

     Built and managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the radiometer
is one of several Earth-observing experiments aboard Terra, which was
launched in December 1999. The instrument acquires images of Earth at nine
angles simultaneously, using nine separate cameras pointed forward,
downward, and backward along its flight path.
