Un meteorito surcó el cielo hacia el volcán Mayon en Filipinas mientras el volcán entraba en erupción:

La inmensa mayoría de los seres humanos que han vivido alguna vez habrían llamado a eso una señal.

Yo también.

Good Morning. Stay dormant.

Boom!! There goes another one! One of Jupiters many moons, Io, is about the size of Earth's moon, but its surface is full of volcanic activity. This is due to gravitational flexing by Jupiter and other moons. The process heats the moons interior, covering the surface with volcanoes. The featured image is from NASA’s robotic June spacecrafts fly by last week, passing within 12,000 kilometers above the dangerously active world. The surface of Io is covered with sulfur and frozen sulfur dioxide, making it appear yellow, orange and brown. As hoped, Juno flew by just as a volcano was erupting -- with its faint plume visible near the top of the featured image. Studying Io's volcanoes and plumes helps scientists better understand how Jupiter's complex system of moons, rings, and auroras interact. Juno is scheduled to make two flybys of Io during the coming months that are almost 10 times closer: one in December and another in February 2024.
