An eruption from the #HayliGubbi volcano in #Ethiopia resulted in a large ash cloud, visible here from space. 🌋
This impressive view was seen 36,000km above Earth by our Meteosat-12 satellite on 23 November at 13:40 UTC.

An explosive #eruption of Hayli Gubbi #volcano, located SE of Erta'Ale in the Afar Rift (Ethiopia), began at ~08:30 UTC on Nov 23. Eruption onset was fortuitously captured by a @planet.com overpass at 08:31 UTC. Hayli Gubbi has no record of Holocene eruptions. Toulouse VAAC reporting ash to ~15 km.

As a human, I enjoy these pictures (and those from others) so much.
As an InSAR researcher I would VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT IF THE SUN WOULD CHILL OUT, OKAY???

White fringing in one and FAE's* in the other. Don't even bother speaking to me, I'm too busy being smug.

Waves coming off the basalt columns at Reynisfjara black sand beach. It's amazing that the camera technology is so good now that this was handheld at 1/8th second - the columns are sharp but I was able to capture the movement of the water too.

Fascinating to see this 2025 two-tone dust plume over Libya — a rare case where winds lifted soils from two distinct regions, blending darker, moisture-rich dust with lighter sandy particles over the Med.
What makes it even more interesting? A nearly identical event happened before — in OCT 2007🧵1/3

Speaking of bad science in media (and I am using the term "media" pretty loosely here), allow me to use The Daily Mail as evidence of why you should get your science information from reputable agencies rather than crap websites. I'm not going to link the article, but it looks like this:

Treatment for trans kids cannot wait for adulthood. Adolescent changes in the body are permanent and irreversible. The pain of dysmorphia kills. No medical professional treats kids casually, no family seeks treatment casually. Treatment is safe, effective and is a conservative course of action.

Fee-fi-fo-fum the Polar Vortex is about to come undone! 😳
That typically means wild weather/ big time cold to follow!
But wait, don’t head for the hills just yet. I assure you the sky won’t fall.
Seriously though, you’re bound to hear about this, and the science is fascinating, so let’s dig in… 1/
