NASA’s Juno spacecraft imaged volcanic plumes on the surface of Jovian moon Io. | Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS Image processing by Andrea Luck NASA’s Juno mission might have originally been all about Jupiter, but its extended mission has the spacecraft observing the gas giant’s moons — and it’s making some pretty interesting discoveries. Its latest find? The […]

After 800 years of calm, volcanoes have awakened in the Reykjanes Peninsula of Iceland — about 56 kilometers (35 miles) south of the nation’s capital, Reykjavik. Since 2021, a string of eruptions has disrupted everyday life […]
You’d be forgiven for thinking that these recently released images of Jupiter’s active moon named Io, were taken from space. The images were in fact, taken by attaching a camera known as the SHARK-VIS attached to the Large Binocular Telescope, which sits atop Mt. Graham in Arizona, USA. This is equivalent to taking a picture […]

Using a telescope perched on a mountain in Arizona, scientists have managed to take snapshots of Jupiter’s active moon Io — and these images are so detailed they even rival pictures of the world taken from space. To capture these views, the team used a camera, dubbed SHARK-VIS, that was recently installed on the Large […]
An unexpected tool is giving us new insight into the fine structure of the outer layers of Mars. Using meteorites that were long ago chipped off the red planet around 11 million years ago and flung into space to eventually land on Earth, scientists have been able to study the way volcanism shaped the crust […]
The famous eruption that shot fountains of lava high into the sky on the island of Hawaiʻi in 2018 is teaching scientists what volcanoes are capable of. The unique series of 12 outbursts, which destroyed at least 700 homes and displaced more than 2,000 people, could represent a whole new explosive volcanic mechanism. “A cool […]
Sirens blared near Iceland’s popular Blue Lagoon geothermal spa on Wednesday, May 29, as volcanic activity resumed in the region. According to local authorities, the eruption began in the early afternoon following a series of earthquakes north of Grindavik, a coastal town that was also evacuated. Footage posted by Instagram user @flysub shows people leaving […]
A new volcanic eruption began on Wednesday on the Reykjanes peninsula in southwestern Iceland, the country’s meteorological office said, shortly after authorities evacuated the nearby town of Grindavik. “An eruption has started near Sundhnuksgigar, north of Grindavik,” the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) said in a statement, almost three weeks after the end of a previous […]
Magma might be roiling and bubbling just underneath the surface of Venus, even as you read these words – and possibly breaking through. A new analysis of data collected over the space of just eight months in the early 1990s by the Magellan orbiter shows changes in the Venusian surface that can best be attributed […]
When Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980, it caused enormous devastation. The eruption triggered mudslides, an explosion, and plumes of ash that did enormous damage. The death of 57 people led to large changes in how the US monitors and prepares for eruptions. On May 18, 1980, Don Swanson placed a frenzied call […]
In most cases, we know when a volcano is going to erupt. Well, sort of. While we can’t predict the precise moment an eruption will begin, volcanoes often show signs that they’re “waking up.” Typically, those signs come from changes in the volcano itself, as well as from changes within the topmost layers of Earth’s […]
