Firefighters have stopped the deadly flames from damaging the historic Mt. Wilson Observatory and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Smoke from the wildfires that have devastated the Los Angeles area can even be seen from space. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration earlier this week shared satellite images capturing plumes of smoke that have clouded the Southern California skies.

Multiple wildfires fueled by fierce Santa Ana winds, have killed 10 and burned more than 35,000 acres near Los Angeles. The winds, which occur most often in the fall and winter, push dry air from over the inland deserts of California and the Southwest toward the coast, the National Weather Service said.
