SARYCHEV PEAK VOLCANO

VOLCANIC VISTAS:
On June 12th, astronauts onboard the International Space Station watched in amazement as Russia's Sarychev Peak volcano erupted directly beneath their spacecraft.

The rare photo they took is a must-see. An enormous sulfur dioxide plume from the eruption is now circumnavigating the globe at northern latitudes, producing spectacular sunsets for international air travelers.

Today's edition of http://spaceweather.com

features: 3D photos of the eruption from space,
satellite movies of the sulfur dioxide plume,
and a Mars-like view of the volcanic cloud over the Canadian Arctic
