We download the reprojected data from UW SSEC's [RealEarth program](https://realearth.ssec.wisc.edu/).
Each image is 128x128 pixels, centered at (34.1, -118.4). Each pixel is 1.0 km.
The fires sometimes disappear from view due to cloud cover.
The code combines the two satellites' data for increased resolution.
It currently measures the areas of hotspots.
If I have more time I might try doing some other measurements,
but I also wrote this to demonstrate the accessibility of citizen science.
