Move the slider below to view the Camp Fire’s smoke blowing over 300 miles across Northern California. The first satellite image was taken Oct. 21, 2018 and the second on Nov. 11 by the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2 satellite; both are provided by the Earth-imaging company Planet. The images were taken approximately 500 miles above the Earth. The Camp Fire, which started Nov. 8 in Butte County, is now the deadliest and most destructive fire in California history.
