What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
New satellite images show the extent of the widespread damage caused by raging wildfires in Chile's scenic Valparaíso region that have killed least 122 people.
On Monday, the space technology company Maxar gathered multiple satellite images of entire neighborhoods east of the resort town of Viña del Mar that have been destroyed.
The images, collected at 11:48 a.m. local time, do not show active wildfires but burn scars left behind from the flames.
On Monday, Chile's state forensic agency reported the toll stood at 122 dead, with only 32 of the victims identified.
President Gabriel Boric had warned Sunday that an earlier death toll of 112 could rise "significantly."
The town's mayor, Macarena Ripamonti, told reporters on Sunday that "190 people are still missing" in the city.
The original article contains 185 words, the summary contains 127 words. Saved 31%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
