Astronauts and satellites alike have captured ominous images from space of a fast-growing wildfire that is blazing across Wyoming.
The Fontenelle Fire, burning in the Bridger-Teton National Forest near the state's western border with Idaho, was first reported on the afternoon of June 24. More than 850 people are battling the blaze, and it is only 25 percent contained.
