Waking up blows. 🌋⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ On June 22, 2019, in a series of unexpected blasts, the Raikoke Volcano in the Kurl Islands ended its 90 year dormancy streak – erupting a vast plume of ash and volcanic gases from its 700-meter-wide crater. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (iss) captured this spectacular moment. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Several of our NASA Earth satellites also observed the event, gathering data that helps us understand how eruptions interact with our climate and affect aviation.
