NASA’s Landsat 9 satellite captured the Burning Man Festival carried out in the Blackrock City, Nevada, U.S. Festivalgoers experienced unusually heavy rain in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert that turned the pancake-flat desert basin into a sea of mud.
Burning Man is a week-long large-scale desert campout focused on “community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance” held annually in Nevada, U.S. At Burning Man, there are no headliners or scheduled performers. Instead, the participants design and build all the art, activities, and events. The Black Rock Desert is a semi-arid region (in the Great Basin shrub steppe eco-region) of lava beds and playa, or alkali flats, situated in the Black Rock Desert–High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area, a silt playa 160km north of Reno, Nevada.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
