<div>The A1 poster incorporates 4 images of Australia taken from space by Earth observing satellites. The accompanying text briefly introduces sensors and the bands within the electromagnetic spectrum. The images include examples of both true and false colour and the diverse range of applications of satellite images such as tracking visible changes to the Earth’s surface like crop growth, bushfires, coastal changes and floods. Scientists, land and emergency managers use satellite images to analyse vegetation, surface water or human activities as well as evaluate natural hazards.</div>

The main part of this spliced satellite image was obtained on 17 February, ten days after the devastating bushfires of Black Saturday. This was the first cloud-acceptable image of the fires and was acquired by the Landsat-5 satellite. Close-ups of Kilmore East-Murrindindi, CHurchill-Teeralang, Bunyip State Forest fire and Beecworth included. The raw image was processed to highlight burnt areas (dark red) and show fire fronts. Vegetation appears green and the smoke appears pale blue.
