Smoke from the wildfires that have devastated the Los Angeles area can even be seen from space. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration earlier this week shared satellite images capturing plumes of smoke that have clouded the Southern California skies. The image below was taken by the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2 satellite shortly after the Palisades Fire ignited on Tuesday morning, according to NASA, and it shows a stream of smoke floating toward the coast.

Later Tuesday, NASA’s Aqua satellite captured the smoke after it moved well out over the Pacific Ocean. Smoke floating off the coast is also visible from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES).

The wildfires have burned through 39,000 acres in the LA area, destroying over 12,000 structures and killing at least 13 people. Tens of thousands of people remain under evacuation orders.
