Everything looks cooler from way up here

So I finally found where my colleague gets those cool pics to post here. NASA has a web page that shows natural disasters and occurrences as shot from satellites above. For example, the fires that are ravaging California right now. As terrible as it sounds, the pictures are fascinating. However, it also provides another literal viewpoint - it wasn’t until I looked at these that I understood just how massive the affected area is.
There are volcanoes, dust storms, hurricanes - all types of things. I particularly recommend the unique imagery tab. Check it out.
