Massive Steam Plume Spotted at Alaska’s Mount Spurr as Volcano May Erupt Soon
A significant steam plume has been observed at Alaska’s Mount Spurr, suggesting rising volcanic activity. The Alaska Volcano Observatory confirmed increased gas emissions from the summit and northern flank of the volcano, though no major change in earthquake patterns has been detected yet. Based on current observations, scientists have stated tha...

Mysterious Light Spiral Over Europe Traced to SpaceX Falcon 9 Reentry
On March 24, a glowing spiral appeared in the night sky across parts of Europe, including the UK, Sweden, Croatia, Poland, and Hungary. The formation lasted for about 12 minutes before fading. Experts confirmed it was caused by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket reentering Earth's atmosphere after completing its mission. The phenomenon resulted from frozen f...

NASA to Launch Three Rockets in Alaska to Study Auroral Substorms’ Impact
NASA is conducting a rocket experiment from Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska. Three rockets will launch within a three-hour window to study how auroral substorms influence the Earth's upper atmosphere. Scientists will observe whether auroras drive vertical convection or if acoustic-buoyancy waves spread their energy over a wider region. Vapour t...

Mount Spurr Volcano in Alaska Shows Signs of Possible Eruption
Mount Spurr, a stratovolcano west of Anchorage, has shown rising seismic activity, gas emissions, and melting snow, suggesting magma movement beneath the surface. Scientists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory believe an eruption is becoming more likely, with historical eruptions in 1953 and 1992 at Crater Peak having sent ash plumes over Anchorage. ...

Increased Seismic Activity at Mount Spurr Raises Eruption Concerns
Seismic activity at Mount Spurr, Alaska, has intensified over the past ten months, with recent earthquakes shifting towards Crater Peak, a vent that erupted in 1992 and 1953. Scientists estimate a 50 percent chance of an eruption at Crater Peak, though the main crater remains stable. If an eruption occurs, ashfall and air travel disruptions could b...

NASA's Dual Rocket Launch to Uncover Mysteries of Alaska's Auroras
NASA is set to launch two rockets from the Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska, aiming to study the aurora borealis. The missions will focus on flickering auroras and the mysterious dark patches known as "black auroras." Led by Marilia Samara and Robert Michell, the rockets will collect data on auroral behaviour and electron movement. Precision tim...

NASA Rockets Set to Journey Through Flickering, Disappearing Auroras
NASA is set to launch two groundbreaking rocket missions in January 2025 to unravel the mysteries of auroras. The GIRAFF mission will study fast-pulsating and flickering auroras, while the Black and Diffuse Aurora Science Surveyor mission will focus on dark auroral patches or "black auroras." By using advanced instruments to measure electron activi...
