The summit eruption of Kīlauea remains paused with a potential eruption expected between December 22 and 27. Gas emissions are elevated, and summit inflation continues, indicating possible upcoming activity, though visibility is currently low due to weather or vog.
Scientists warn that the Campi Flegrei supervolcano in Italy shows signs of awakening, with increased seismic activity, gas emissions, and ground swelling indicating magma is moving closer to the surface, raising the risk of a major eruption that could have devastating local and global impacts.
The Phlegraean Fields supervolcano near Naples is showing increased gas emissions and signs of instability, raising concerns about a potential eruption that could have catastrophic global consequences, prompting intensified scientific monitoring and preparedness efforts.
The Phlegraean Fields supervolcano near Naples, Italy, is showing signs of reawakening, with increased gas emissions and ground deformation raising concerns among scientists. The Solfatara crater is releasing 4,000 to 5,000 tons of carbon dioxide daily, primarily from magma beneath the surface. This activity has prompted heightened monitoring and a raised volcanic alert level, as experts work to determine if these signs indicate an impending eruption or are part of natural geological processes. The situation underscores the potential global impact of a supervolcano eruption.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an incredible image of the protostar HH 212, located 1,300 light-years from Earth. This is the first time scientists have seen a clear color image of the protostar, revealing symmetrical pink plumes of gas emissions indicating the presence of molecular hydrogen. The image provides new insights into star formation and demonstrates the telescope's ability to reshape our understanding of the cosmos and make groundbreaking scientific discoveries.
