Explosive underwater volcano eruption in Tonga spotted from space in satellite images!
Satellites orbiting Earth captured a powerful undersea volcanic eruption from space on Thursday (Jan. 13).
In the South Pacific kingdom of Tonga, which is made up of over 170 islands, the (mostly) underwater volcano on the island Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai erupted, sending plumes up to 12 miles (20 kilometers) into the air, the Tonga Geological Services has shared online.
Orbiting probes have captured images of the ongoing explosive event, which follows a previous eruption in December 2021. This event is more than seven times as powerful as December’s eruption and has so far sparked a tidal wave in Tonga’s capital Nuku'alofa and a tsunami warning for all islands in Tonga, in addition to possible threats of acid rain.
DAISY DID THAT. DAISY […] AND IT SHOULD HAVE MADE ME FEEL BETTER BUT IT HURT, TOO. […] IT JUST BECAME SO PERFECTLY CLEAR TO ME THAT I HAD BEEN HOLDING ON TIGHTLY TO THE POSSIBILITY. THE POSSIBILITY OF DAISY. AND SUDDENLY, I WAS HAVING A VERY HARD TIME WITH THE IDEA OF LETTING THAT GO. OF SAYING, “NEVER.”
How dare you leave this in the tags where I almost didn’t get smacked in the face with feelings!
