Satellites have seen smoke from Canadian wildfires gathering over the midwestern United States just days after space-based imagery spotted smoke creeping across the Atlantic into Europe.
The gathering smoke over the Midwest comes from fires that have been burning in the Canadian province of Quebec for weeks. It was spotted from orbit by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite East (GOES-East) satellite, also known as GOES-16, operated by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
