I wonder if this (or North Koreas nuclear tests) have anything to do with the terrible June we've had (weather wise) in New York?

I love seeing Volcanic eruptions - really awesome 'power of nature' show! Thanks for posting!

 

[crinkles]

nice, and makes perfect sense!

I've seen twice the (sortof) inverse of this. A power station cooling plume rising, disappearing (becoming invisible due to temps or whatever), then turning back into a plume about the clear layer.

That is very cool. What is up with the black blob "in the Link" in the bottom picture....kinda strange.

 

[Shannow]

Yeah, that IS neat. Didn't a German schoolboy detect stealth fighters by looking for where there was "nothing" ?

That is very cool! Thanks for posting ToyotaNSaturn...

That Black area is the shadow of the volcanic cloud.

They are talking about the deep space picture with a featureless area (not a "black hole"). link

My bad, I didn't pay close enough attention to the "in the link" in his post.

 

[moribundman]

I made the exact same mistake when I first saw this thread.

There are only two ways that I can think of to improve these pictures. First, at the very bottom of the plume is Osama bin Laden's present hide-out, and, Second, that's a nuke going off over it, not a "mere" volcanic eruption...
