Using a handheld digital camera as part of the ongoing Crew Earth Observations research program aboard the International Space Station, station crew members took this photo May 23 of a wildfire in Bullock, Ariz., two days after the fire began. By May 25, fighting the fire was listed as a top national priority. The mountainous region of the Coronado National Forest, northeast of Tucson, Ariz., is highlighted by the low Sun angle when the photo was taken. More than 30,000 acres have been consumed by the blaze. (NASA)
