In the heart of Yellowstone National Park, scientists have just drawn the clearest underground map to date of one of the most watched supervolcanoes on Earth — and it’s revealing some surprises. A recent Nature study, led by USGS researchers in collaboration with Oregon State University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, used electromagnetic imaging to scan Yellowstone’s subsurface like never …

A massive eruption 74,000 years ago affected the whole planet – archaeologists use volcanic glass to figure out how people survived  SpaceView Full Coverage on Google News Source link

UPDATE – (10:50 a.m.) – The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory says the beginning of Episode 33 lava fountaining “is most likely today or tomorrow at the latest”, although it could still be delayed if current conditions change.  From an Observatory update posted on Thursday morning at 9:22 a.m. HST: The Uēkahuna tiltmeter (UWD) has recorded approximately 22.5 microradians of inflationary …

If you were lucky 74,000 years ago, you would have survived the Toba supereruption, one of the largest catastrophic events that Earth has seen in the past 2.5 million years. While the volcano is located in what’s now Indonesia, living organisms across the entire globe were potentially affected. As an archaeologist who specializes in studying volcanic eruptions of the past, …

A gigantic, backwards “letter S” recently appeared slap bang in the middle of the sun, moments before our home star unleashed a massive plume of plasma that later smashed into Earth, temporarily disrupting our planet’s magnetic field. The bizarre S-shaped structure, which bears a resemblance to the iconic symbol of Superman, took shape on Sept. 4, less than an hour …

Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano captured global attention with a dramatic eruption on August 22, 2025, marking its 31st since December 2024. Known as one of the world’s most active volcanoes, Kilauea’s latest eruption featured lava fountains soaring 100 feet into the air, thrilling both scientists and spectators at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, as reported by Phys.org. Kilauea’s Explosive Return On August …

A giant solar tornado and a massive plasma eruption were just raging on the surface of the sun at the same time — and a researcher has captured both in one spectacular image. Although the solar events are unrelated, both are the result of disturbances in the sun’s invisible magnetic field, with some plasma forced into a tornado shape and …

Experts have warned that a massive underwater volcano is on the brink of erupting after 2,000 earthquakes were recorded in just one day. Volcanic eruptions can be some of the most dangerous natural disasters in the world, often triggering other things such as earthquakes or even tsunamis. Axial Seamount is the most active volcano in the Pacific Northwest and sits …

Scientists monitoring a massive volcano off the California coast have warned that an eruption is just months away. Axial Seamount, the most active volcano in the Pacific Northwest, sits just 300 miles off the US coastline and nearly a mile below the ocean’s surface. It last erupted in 2015, but scientists have recently detected a surge in seismic activity at …
