LiveScience.com - Reports of unusually fiery orange sunsets on Earth and ruby red rings around the planet Venus have popped up on the Internet in the last week. Some skywatchers suspect that these views are being colored by the dust and gases injected into the atmosphere by the Aug. 7 Eruption of Alaska's Kasatochi Volcano. The skywatchers are probably right. Kasatochi, part of the Aleutian Island chain, sent an ash plume more than 35,000 feet (10,600 meters) into the atmosphere when it erupted last month. ... ...

As you may remember, back in May I told you about the devastating Volcano Eruption in Futaleufu, Chile. The disaster was particularly poignant to us because we run a river trip on the Rio Futaleufu every January so we really wanted to do something to help. Over the course of the many years planning these trips and making them a [...] ... Source: www.truveo.com --- 9 days ago

CASTELLAMMARE DI STABIA, Italy - Over several centuries, millions of tourists have visited Pompeii to acquaint themselves with the cataclysmic Eruption of Mount Vesuvius that began on Aug. 24, 79 A.D. But while it's the most famous Eruption site, the ancient Roman city 15 miles south of Naples isn't the best place to gauge the Volcano's awesome destructive power. ...

New research by a team of US and UK scientists into volcanoes has found that they function in a far more complex way than previously thought, making future eruptions even harder to predict. Although the Soufrière Hills Volcano on the Caribbean island of Montserrat exhibits cycles of Eruption and quiet, magma is continuously supplied from deep in the crust but that a valve acts below a shallower magma chamber, releasing lava to the surface periodically. ...

An international team of scientists studying the Soufriere Hills Volcano in the Caribbean's Leeward Islands has found deep magma controls Eruption cycles.While the Volcano exhibits cycles of Eruption and quiet, the scientists discovered magma is continuously supplied from deep in the Earth's crust, but a valve acts below a shallower magma chamber, releasing lava to the surface periodically.Continuous records of surface deformation are available for only a few volcanoes, said Professor Derek Elsworth of Pennsylvania State University. The Soufriere Hills Volcano has been erupting since 1995 and provides a peek into the processes occurring deep beneath this stratovolcano. ... Source: www.mcclatchydc.com --- 1 day ago

Mount Vesuvius, the mighty Italian Volcano that destroyed the Roman city of Pompei, has been gradually transforming into a less menacing presence, according to a new study. Researchers studied rock samples from four different eruptions, from the Pompei disaster in 79 AD to the Pollena Eruption in 472 AD, and determined the pressure and temperature [...] ...

clipped by: mariana3 Clip Source: www.spaceweather.com This weekend, observers around Europe are reporting the same "volcanic sunsets" widely observed last week in North America. "This was probably due to aerosols in the stratosphere spewed by the August 7th Eruption of the Kasatochi Volcano in the Aleutian Islands." Meanwhile, back in the USA, "the sky is on fire," reports Doug Zubenel of Kansas. "The colors tonight (Aug. 30th) were about as vivid as I have ever seen ( photos )." One state away in Nebraska, Jerry Chab reports "the sky was white at the horizon and turned yellow, orange, red, purple, blue then finally black up high ( photos ). It was like a rainbow in clear skies!" Tags: astronomy , climate , geology , Volcano , sky , sunset ...
A former student sent along these fascinating images. The e-mail said: "Tons of dust and ash from the Eruption of the Chaitin Volcano poured into the night sky just as an electric storm passed overhead. The resulting collision created a spectacular sight as lightning flickered around the dust cloud amid the orange glow of the Volcano. The Eruption was all the more spectacular because the Chaitin Volcano, 800 miles (1,290km) south of Santiago, has been dormant for hundreds - if not thousands of years." Apparently, this happened in May. Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post... ...
