Spectacular Sunsets Caused by Volcano in Russia
Russian Volcano makes for Spectacular Sunsets
The Russian volcano that erupted directly beneath the International Space Station on June 12th is now causing beautiful lavender sunsets across parts of the northern USA and Europe. A plume of ash and sulfur dioxide from the Sarychev Peak eruption is circulating through the stratosphere, and when parts of the plume pass over an area at sunset, the sky fills with delicate white ripples, sometimes-colorful streamers, and a telltale hue of purple. Check today's photos on Flickr for picture of the amazing sunsets, all due to the volcano that erupted in Russia.
