NASA is tracking lava flows from Hawaii Island’s Kilauea volcano as fissures erupt and lava makes its way to the ocean. Using data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer, or VIIRS, instrument aboard the NASA-NOAA Suomi NPP satellite, NASA’s Disaster Program has been tracking thermal anomalies, or hot spots, indicative of lava flow. Meanwhile NASA astronauts orbiting Earth aboard the International Space Station (iss) are capturing views of their own — this shot was recently taken by astro_feustel as station passed over the Big Island.
