What first looked like bright street lighting really turned out to be wildfires in Australia. Taken today (Sunday September 9th) at 16:00 UT, these fires are in the North East region, the largest near Talaroo and the smaller one near Clermont.
It’s amazing how bright the scalloped fire lines are from orbit. I hope these get under control soon.

Is it ever not on fire? Aren’t they just coming out of winter?
