Title: NASA Volcano Image Shows Atmospheric Shockwave
Post by: goldfarb on June 22, 2009, 06:31:53 PM
On June 12th, Saychev Peak on Matua Island erupted, hurling ash and steam into the air. Luckily, NASA's International Space Station was watching. This stunning image, from the Earth Observatory, reveals some rare details about this eruption.
