The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument on NASA’s Terra spacecraft views every scene it observes from nine different angles. This unique design allows it to measure the height of smoke plumes using stereoscopic techniques. This MISR image, acquired Aug. 23, 2013, shows a 121-by-165-mile (194-by-266 kilometer) portion of the scene, where the smoke is the thickest. (Image credit: NASA/GSFC/LaRC/JPL, MISR Team)
