Burning Man might seem to outsiders like an anarchistic, sun-baked mashup of Mad Max and Sedona. Who'd've thought it was so ... organized? Photos from space show a method to the madness:
The European Space Agency's Proba-1 microsatellite took a photo of Burning Man on Thursday (Sept. 1) from an altitude of about 373 miles (600 kilometers). The picture shows campers and tents massed for the annual gathering, which attracts 50,000 people to the Black Rock Desert 120 miles (193 km) north of Reno.
