NASA spots 368 hotspots in Russia

Two NASA remote sensing satellites registered a total of 368 hotspots from fires across Russia on Saturday, with the central part of the country being the worst affected, a spokeswoman for the ScanEx company said.

"Wildfires raging on vast areas and smoke blankets can be clearly seen even on satellite photos of medium definition," Nadezhda Pupysheva told RIA Novosti.

Meanwhile, at the Star City's Garagin Cosmonaut Training Center, the peat bog and forest fires created smog filled the skies causing NASA to curb sending Americans there on a temporary basis.
