This natural-color image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite shows the thick, brown ash plume from the June 4, 2011 eruption of the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle Volcano Complex in Chile. The plume is easily identified as it towers over the bright white clouds in this scene.

I never cease to be amazed at the quality and volume of information available on this wonderful website. I am only an interested spectator. Not only am I interested in our earth, I’m interested in the truth, and a truthful presentation of facts. The ability of true science to captivate our imagination is something all young people should be exposed to. Thank you for making your site a ready source.
