The Japan Meteorological Agency on Friday raised the volcanic alert for Mount Aso in the southwestern prefecture of Kumamoto to Level 3 from Level 2, banning entry to the mountain, due to increased volcanic tremor amplitudes and rapidly growing volcanic gas emissions.

Magellan was the first deep space probe launched by a space shuttle, and the first spacecraft to provide direct evidence of volcanic action on Venus.

fWotD Episode 3382: Cerro Panizos Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 8 August 2026, is Cerro Panizos.Cerro Panizos (Spanish: [ˈse.ro paˈni.sos], "Maize Hill") is a late Miocene-age shield-shaped volcano spanning the Potosi Department of Bolivia and the Jujuy Province of Argentina. It features two calderas (depressions formed by the collapse of a volcano) and a group of lava domes. It is part of the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex (APVC), a group of calderas and associated ignimbrites (a form of volcanic rock) that erupted during the past ten million years. Cerro Panizos is part of the Central Volcanic Zone (CVZ), a volcanic arc that extends from Peru to Chile which was formed mostly by subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath South America.Volcanic activity commenced in the APVC about ten million years ago, producing the large volcanic calderas Panizos, Vilama, Cerro Guacha and the volcano Uturuncu. The formation of the APVC has been linked to the existence of a giant magmatic body in the crust of the Central Andes.The Cienago Ignimbrite erupted over 350 cubic kilometres (84 cu mi) from Panizos about 7.9 million years ago, and 6.7 million years ago the Panizos Ignimbrite erupted over 650 cubic kilometres (160 cu mi). The Panizos Ignimbrite has been noted for volcanic rocks containing orbs. Several volcanic cones such as Limitayoc were active between the ignimbrite eruptions, and a plateau of lava flows and lava domes formed in the central area of the Panizos Ignimbrite after the last eruptions.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:44 UTC on Saturday, 8 August 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Cerro Panizos on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Raveena.

Sci-Fi Subgenres: Political Sci-Fi + Armored Combat A strategic prodigy from an elite military academy is deployed in power armor to crush an insurrection on an outer colony. He uncovers that the insurrectionists are not alien sympathizers, but disenfranchised miners striking against brutal corporate quotas. He must navigate the political minefield of command structure while fighting off actual alien predators drawn by the conflict.

In this episode, Alex sits down with his uncle, geologist Dr. Robert Drake, to explore a career spent mapping the remote Andes, climbing 21,000-foot volcanoes, and helping reshape scientists' understanding of one of the world's great mountain ranges. They discuss Bob's expeditions with legendary volcanologist Wes Hildreth, the volcanic hazards they studied, and the discoveries that emerged from decades of fieldwork in Chile and Argentina. The conversation also reflects on the reunion Bob, Wes, and Judy Fierstein had planned to retrace their landmark 1984 expedition—a trip that never happened after Wes canceled at the last minute and passed away not long afterward. It's a story of scientific discovery, adventure, lifelong friendship, and the enduring legacy of one of the world's great volcanologists.

Astronomy Daily S05E152 — “Reading the Heat” · Tuesday 28 July 2026. Hosts Anna & Avery. NASA's Juno spacecraft has taken the first-ever temperature reading beneath the surface of Io, Jupiter's volcanic moon — and the technique behind it could reshape how we study icy ocean moons and even volcanoes on Earth. We also look at why JWST's “Little Red Dots” might be globular clusters being born, the first SETI search built from archived ALMA data (and its six-million-star surprise), and a live burst of space weather feeding into a meteor-filled — if Moon-washed — skywatch. In this episode ●        Juno reads Io's subsurface temperature for the first time — >20°C rise within a few metres, heat flow up to ~30× Earth's average, and a remarkably smooth, low-density surface. ●        Why the method matters: a multi-depth microwave thermometer that works from orbit — promising for Europa, Enceladus, and terrestrial volcanology. ●        JWST's “Little Red Dots” may be globular clusters in formation, powered by a short-lived supermassive star — linking two long-standing mysteries. ●        The first SETI survey of archived ALMA data opens the millimetre band — and reveals “stellar bycatch” of 6.1 million background stars. ●        Live space weather: an M3.2 flare from region AR4494 and a glancing CME, with G1–G2 storms and possible aurorae, north and south. ●        Skywatch: meteor week under the full Buck Moon (29 July), the Alpha Capricornid fireball tip, evening Venus, pre-dawn Saturn/Mars/Mercury — and Jupiter vanishing behind the Sun.

In this episode, we deep dive into the extraordinary origins of Splendor Volcanic Artesian Water, a brand that goes far beyond standard hydration. Sourced from the pristine foothills of the Ecuadorian Andes near the Cotopaxi Volcano and La Maná, Ecuador, this water's journey begins as pure snow and rainfall filtering slowly for centuries through deep layers of volcanic basalt, lava rock, and ancient mineral strata. Discovered in a region historically revered by ancient civilizations for its unique energetic properties, the underground artesian aquifer brings something truly rare to the table. In this episode, we explore what makes Splendor completely unique, from being globally recognized as the only bottled water known to naturally contain trace amounts of colloidal gold and silver—with the silver acting as a natural preservative that eliminates the need for harsh ozone treatments—to its "Super Low Minerality" Total Dissolved Solids level of roughly 31 mg/L that guarantees a silky, clean, and smooth finish with zero metallic aftertaste and balanced trace electrolytes for cellular hydration. Looking forward, listeners can get excited about what is next for the brand, including its dedication to ecological responsibility through pioneering 100% recycled plastic (rPET) bottles in Latin America alongside light-filtering indigo glass packaging designed to protect water integrity from UV degradation, plus its Rainforest Alliance certification that directs a percentage of gross sales back into local environmental conservation and community development programs in Ecuador. Web: https://splendorwater.com 15% Discount: ashsaidit15 Follow: @splendorwater Splendor Volcanic Artesian Water (formerly known as Health2O / Splendor by Health2O) is an ultra-premium volcanic artesian mineral water available in still and sparkling varieties. Sourced from the pristine foothills of the Andes Mountains near the Cotopaxi Volcano and La Maná, Ecuador, it holds global recognition as the only bottled water naturally containing trace amounts of colloidal gold and colloidal silver. With a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level of roughly 31 mg/L, it falls squarely into the "Super Low Minerality" category. Furthermore, it features signature dark indigo-blue glass and eco-friendly rPET packaging designed specifically to protect water integrity from UV degradation. The journey of Splendor Water begins as pure snow and rainfall on the peak of the Cotopaxi Volcano, one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. The water filters down slowly over centuries through deep layers of volcanic basalt, lava rock, and ancient mineral strata. It was discovered in the rainforest region of La Maná, Ecuador—an area historically revered by ancient civilizations for its unique energetic properties—during soil excavations that also revealed historical stone artifacts. It is bottled directly at the source to ensure that nothing is artificially added, removed, or chemically altered during packaging. Splendor is widely celebrated by water sommeliers and the Fine Water Society for its exceptional structure and taste profile. As the water traverses volcanic rock beds, it naturally acquires microscopic trace amounts of gold and silver. The naturally occurring silver acts as a natural preservative, eliminating the need for harsh ozone treatments. A near-zero heavy mineral load guarantees a silky, clean, and smooth finish on the palate with zero metallic aftertaste. Its natural isotonic properties deliver a balanced ratio of essential trace electrolytes—including calcium, potassium, magnesium, and bicarbonates—for optimal cellular hydration. Splendor maintains a strong commitment to ecological responsibility through sustainable business practices. The brand pioneered the use of 100% recycled plastic (rPET) bottles in Latin America alongside light-filtering indigo glass bottles designed for complete recyclability. It maintains Rainforest Alliance certification to safeguard the local Ecuadorian ecosystems surrounding the water source. A percentage of gross sales is funneled directly back into local environmental conservation programs and community development initiatives in Ecuador. - Ready to ignite the spark that levels up your entire life?

When you think of Antarctica it's more likely that cold and ice come to mind than magma and ash; but the continent is home to the largest volcanic region on Earth. Far more than an icy wilderness; beneath Antarctica's ice lies a geologically active continent shaped by volcanoes, rifting, earthquakes and mountain building. Places like Mount Erebus, Scott Base and the Ross Sea are some of the most scientifically important locations on Earth. Graham Leonard is a Volcanologist and Principal Scientist at Earth Sciences NZ. He speaks with Mihi Forbes.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Kim Ely aka the "Rock Doc" discusses the geological origins and unique features of Wolf Rock, a massive volcanic monolith located in the Willamette National Forest. As the largest monolith in Oregon, this site represents the eroded core of an ancient volcano that existed long before the modern High Cascades formed. The discussion highlights the rock's distinctive wolf-like shape, its sheer 700-foot cliffs, and its popularity among adventurous rock climbers. Despite its impressive scale, the landmark remains largely secluded due to its remote location and the lack of traditional hiking infrastructure. Dr. Ely also explains how tectonic shifts millions of years ago ended volcanic activity in the region, leaving behind resilient structures that survived through eras of glacial erosion. -------------------------------------------------This podcast is produced by Dirty Freehub, a nonprofit organization that publishes hand-curated (and great!) gravel cycling Ride Guides.

Volcanic island chains like Hawaii record the passage of a plate over a hotspot — a plume of hot rock rising from deep within the mantle. For decades, hotspots were assumed to be fixed, providing a stationary frame of reference against which to measure the absolute motions of the plates. But are they? Bernhard Steinberger has spent his career modeling how mantle flow carries plume conduits sideways as they rise, setting each hotspot drifting on its own course. In the podcast, he explains how paleomagnetism, the ages of volcanoes along hotspot tracks, and relative plate motions can be combined to disentangle plate motion, hotspot drift, and true polar wander — and how, even in motion, hotspots can still anchor the plates to the deep Earth.Steinberger is a geophysicist at the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam.Go to geologybites.com to see illustrations supporting this episode.

Headline: Ancient Globalization and Volcanic Disruptions Guest: Professor Peter Frankopan Book Title: The Earth Transformed: An Untold History Frankopan explores the concept of ancient globalization, defining it through the long-range exchange of goods, ideas, and technologies between Europe, Africa, and Asia. He highlights nomadic peoples as the essential vectors who transported bronze, cereals, and livestock between cities. The conversation shifts to the profound impact of volcanic eruptions on human history. For instance, the eruption of Thera (Santorini) triggered changes in the variola virus, potentially leading to the rise of smallpox which killed millions over millennia. Another major event was the eruption of Okmok in Alaska in 43 BC. This caused global crop failures and disrupted the Nileflood, leading to famine and political instability in Egypt. These ecological pressures weakened Queen Cleopatra'sposition, allowing her rival Octavian to eventually take control of Egypt. Frankopan notes that while volcanoes do not directly cause political change, the resulting agricultural shocks create "turbulent" environments where political opportunists can transform republics into empires.

Concealed Carry Magazine's executive editor Kevin Michalowski sits down with Michael and Alisha for a straight conversation most gun owners need to hear: marksmanship is the easy part. The hard part — mindset, the law, and what actually happens after you use a firearm — is where most people are undertrained.

Day 1,553.Today, in the aftermath of one of the most intense aerial assaults on Ukraine of the entire war, we report on fresh strikes against Russia's Tuapse oil refinery – the site of the extraordinary “manmade volcano” that has become symbolic of Kyiv's campaign against Moscow's energy infrastructure. Antonia Langford joins us live from Kyiv after witnessing ballistic missile attacks on the capital firsthand. We also examine the shrinking number of countries contributing to the Czech-led ammunition initiative, which now supplies around half of Ukraine's artillery ammunition, and assess Britain's attempt to regain control of the political narrative after last week's easing of sanctions on Russia by unveiling new measures targeting cryptocurrency networks accused of financing Putin's war machine.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Antonia Langford (Freelance Journalist in Kyiv). @Antonialford on X.NOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

fWotD Episode 3301: Silverthrone Caldera Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 19 May 2026, is Silverthrone Caldera.The Silverthrone Caldera, also referred to as the Silverthrone Caldera Complex, is a volcano in the Range 2 Coast Land District of British Columbia, Canada. It lies within the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains and reaches an elevation of 2,860 metres (9,380 feet), although some sources give the elevation as high as 3,160 m (10,370 ft). The caldera is about 25 by 20 kilometres (16 by 12 miles) in size and has been deeply eroded, resulting in the formation of rugged topography. Several glacial meltwater streams originating from the volcano flow through valleys in the Pacific Ranges; among these streams are the Pashleth, Selman and Catto creeks and the Kingcome and Wakeman rivers. The caldera contains several named mountains, including Mounts Somolenko, Overill, Kinch, Squire, Ardern and Calli, as well as Petrovsky Peak and Silverthrone Mountain.Volcanic rocks deposited by eruptions of the Silverthrone Caldera and associated vents include rhyolites, dacites, andesites and basaltic andesites. They are exposed in valleys, but at higher elevations they are largely buried under glacial ice of the 3,600 km2 (1,400 mi2) Ha-Iltzuk Icefield. These rocks comprise three geological units: a 750,000-year-old basal breccia unit, a 400,000-year-old unit of overlying lava flows and domes, and a less than 13,000-year-old series of lava flows and pyroclastic cones. Small magnitude, shallow earthquakes have been recorded near the volcano since 1980, but they have not been demonstrated to be magmatic in origin. The main potential hazard posed by future volcanism is to air traffic if explosive eruptions were to occur from the caldera.The Silverthrone Caldera was a source of obsidian for Indigenous peoples during the pre-contact era. Geological studies have been conducted at the volcano since at least the 1960s, but its very remote location has impeded detailed fieldwork. As a result, the eruptive history of the caldera is poorly known and its affinity to the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt remains unclear. The volcano was studied in the 1970s as a potential source of geothermal energy. It can be reached by helicopter or, with great difficulty, by trekking on foot through valleys.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:05 UTC on Tuesday, 19 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Silverthrone Caldera on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Justin.

head.Ca: "És massa perillós!En: "It's too dangerous!"Ca: ", exclamà.En: he exclaimed.Ca: Però el temps premia, i amb la determinació de Montse, van començar a moure's ràpidament.En: But time was pressing, and with Montse's determination, they began to move quickly.Ca: El camí els portà a un bosc dens, on els arbres alts els envoltaven, convertint el recorregut en un laberint verd.En: The path

filled the air.Ca: Caminaven junts, l'esperança i la por mesclant-se en silenci.En: They walked together, hope and fear mingling silently.Ca: La seva confiança en Montse no vacil·lava, mentre ella els guanyava temps i els portava cap a la llibertat.En: Their confidence in Montse did not falter, as she bought them time and led them towards freedom.Ca: Finalment, després del que semblaren hores però que potser només havien estat minuts, van sortir del bosc espès.En: Finally, after what seemed like hours but perhaps was only minutes, they emerged from the thick forest.Ca: La visió d'un poble proper, segur i serè, els esperava.En: The sight of a nearby, safe, and serene village awaited them.Ca: Aquella vista fou com veure un far en la nit.En: That view was like seeing a lighthouse in the night.Ca: Montse respirà fondo, sentint una oleada d'alleujament i realització.En: Montse took a deep breath, feeling a wave of relief and accomplishment.Ca: Arribaren al poble, aixoplugant-se en una casa acollidora.En: They reached the village, sheltering in a welcoming house.Ca: En aquell moment, Montse comprengué que havia trobat l'equilibri entre la seva passió per l'aventura i la necessitat

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore new insights into the origins of Earth's water, groundbreaking discoveries beneath the surface of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io, and how tectonic plate movements may have influenced Earth's climate throughout history.New Clues on Earth's Water OriginsA recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that asteroid and comet impacts could only account for a small fraction of Earth's water supply. By analyzing oxygen isotopes in lunar regolith collected during the Apollo missions, researchers found that the early Earth likely retained little to no water during its formative years. This challenges long-held beliefs and suggests that the majority of Earth's water must have originated from other sources, rather than being delivered by celestial bodies.Unprecedented Volcanic Activity on IoNASA's Juno spacecraft has captured remarkable data on Io, the most volcanically active body in our solar system. Observations from a December flyby revealed the most energetic eruption ever detected on Io, affecting a vast area of 65,000 square kilometers. The findings indicate that interconnected magma reservoirs beneath Io's surface are responsible for this extraordinary volcanic activity, providing new insights into the moon's geological dynamics and evolution.Tectonic Plates and Earth's ClimateA new study suggests that carbon released from shifting tectonic plates may have played a significant role in Earth's climatic transitions, rather than volcanic activity as previously thought. Researchers reconstructed carbon movements over the last 540 million years, providing evidence that carbon emissions from mid-ocean ridges were the primary drivers of climate shifts between ice ages and warmer periods. This research reshapes our understanding of past climate dynamics and offers valuable insights for future climate models.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesProceedings of the National Academy of SciencesJournal of Geophysical Research PlanetsCommunications Earth and EnvironmentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.
