You've got to go to SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids.

There is the rarest of photos on the home page.

The international space lab crew just happened to be flying over

an erupting volcano in Russia and snapped a photo.

The force was so great that it punched the earth's atmosphere.

The shockwave against the clouds is greatly impressive. The timing to be in position to be able to capture a photo like that is equally impressive. and I think is the first time such a revealing photo like it has been taken.

I had to look at where that was on the map.
Here's the wiki link:
Sarychev Peak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is almost due east of North Korea. I wonder if their
blast could of been cause/effect.

The wiki says that there are about 100
volcanoes in the Kuril Archipelago and 40 of them are active.

Great place to live!!!!! And if cameras are flying overhead...don't
dress in front of a window.

This really was kool. Thanks for sharing. I do remember huge volcanic explosions from the past like Mount St Helens, Mount Pinotubo, the huge volcano not far from Mexico city and others that blew their tops and created dust in the stratasphere which effected weather for a couple years in many areas. Where I lived it gave us wetter winter rainy seasons and more rain during the longer than normal monsoonal season.

I remember this similiar beltching smoke cloud lightening phenomena during the monsoon season if a fire happen suddenly and threw a massive smoke cloud up into the upper atmosphere quickly. The resulting large mushroom cloud mix with monsoonal moisture from Mexico would result in lightening and thunder even though it would'nt rain. Though this volcanic phenomena here is entirely different, there are amazing similiarites.

Wonder how this will effect global weather if at all ???

Stay tuned

Did you see the trail map of this volcano? It is already stretching across the world with the air currents. It kind of goes south before going north again.

Maybe southern CA will get much needed rain to cure their drought. But then, of course,
the mud slides. Can't win, can they?

The video would probably be so shaky that you'd think it was a sequel to
The Blair Witch.
