Soar

A wildfire has broken out in France. Thanks to two Airbus satellite images, we can get a better look at what's happening! France is battling its biggest wildfire of the summer, it's already larger than Paris. 🚒

From 259 miles above Earth, the ISS captured this breath-taking shot of a lightning bolt bursting inside a cloud during a storm over Singapore and Johor Bahru.🌩️

We've georeferenced it and put it on Soar for everyone to explore!

🌋 A powerful view of Russia’s tallest active volcano. This synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image of Klyuchevskaya Sopka was captured by Capella Space on July 31, 2025.

SAR allows us to see through clouds and darkness, revealing volcanic activity in any conditions.

🌋 BREAKING: Following yesterday’s devastating 8.8 earthquake, a volcano in Russia has now erupted!

We’re still waiting on fresh imagery, but satellite maps from past eruptions at this site reveal similar visuals.

A massive wildfire tore through Turkey on Tuesday, captured in stunning detail by Sentinel-2 on Soar. 🔥

Wildfires have doubled globally since 2001, driven by rising heat and drought. Using Enhanced Natural Colour we can see the burn marks left behind.

We’ll be highlighting more tsunami-related maps in the coming days.

A massive 8.8 earthquake near Russia has triggered #tsunami warnings across the world.

We've shared tsunami maps on Soar before during big events like this 🌊

Texas Flooding July 2025 [09 Jul 2025] | Soar satellite imagery #Maxar #Open Data #Satellite #Disaster #Humanitarian

The scale of destruction from the Texas floods remains staggering. With ecosystems torn apart, and communities forever changed, these satellite images tell part of that story. 🌎

Thanks again to @Maxar's open access. 🧵 [4/4]

Zooming in on this specific area, we can observe a structure, possibly a small dam or retention basin, that appears to have been overwhelmed.

Events like this highlight the limits of infrastructure under extreme weather conditions. 🧵 [3/4]

🗺️Map: soar.earth/maps/texas-f...

We can clearly see widespread damage to the vegetation lining the river. Trees that once stood tall along the banks now appear uprooted. The ground, previously covered in green, now shows large patches of bare soil, a strong indicator of the flood’s force. 🧵 [2/4]

Thanks to Maxar for another look at the #TexasFloods. We believe this data should be viewed by everyone, so again, we’ve added it to Soar to be easy to explore.

Here’s some closer looks… 🧵 [1/4]

The data team at Soar will be doing our best to keep Maxar's open data flowing to the public in an easy to access manner during these heartbreaking events.

Soar | The New Atlas Explore view and share maps and imagery of the Earth.

While this imagery is difficult to look at, knowing the lives this flood has taken, it’s important that this data is accessible. We’re grateful to Maxar for making this public, and we’ll keep adding more images to Soar as they become available. 🧵 [6/6]

On a small island in the river, you can see a line of flattened trees. We don’t yet know the full impact on local wildlife, but changes like this will be felt for some time. 🧵 [5/6]

This area here is Camp Mystic. You’ll notice a number of vehicles, likely part of the ongoing recovery and search efforts.🧵 [4/6]

Following the river’s course, sections of land have clearly been scoured by floodwaters. In one area, the sand appears to have been pushed up and dried out completely, leaving behind a barren patch. 🧵 [3/6]

One of the first things we spotted were trees on the right, uprooted and dragged downstream. The river itself runs a deep, muddy brown, signs of sediment and flooding still fresh in the landscape. 🧵 [2/6]

The recent Texas floods have been devastating.
Thanks to new satellite imagery from Maxar, we now have a clearer view. These files can be hard to access. We believe this data should be viewed by everyone, so we’ve added it to Soar to be easy to explore.

Here’s what we found… 🧵 [1/6]
