Science DiscussionsFour other images from Whittaker’s flight over Canada is also found on the SpaceWeather.com website. The NASA Earth Observatory website “Activity at Sarychev Peak” also shows images of the erupting volcano. A moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the NASA Aqua satellite and another one on the NASA Terra satellite took the two pictures. The article, with the photographs, states, “According to a bulletin from the U.S. Air Force Weather Agency, the ash spread roughly 105 kilometers (65 miles) toward the west-northwest, and another 250 kilometers (155 miles) toward the east-southeast.” For additional information on the story, read the Mail Online (Daily Mail) article “Stunning pictures of the volcano that blew a hole in the sky as astronauts witness eruption from International Space Station.” |
