Satellite images show Mauna Loa spewing lava, ash and gas from space
NOAA satellite images show Mauna Loa oozing lava The Big Island of Hawaii and throws ash and gas into the air.
One video shows red-orange dots – a lava flow – piercing through the brown and green background of the tropical island.
In another picture, clouds of white ash are being pumped into the sky, melting into a fluffy veil of clouds floating by.
Other materials show that sulfur dioxide emissions are released slowly, almost as if volcano let out a long, deep sigh.

These images were taken by the satellites GOES-17, GOES-18, NOAA-20 and the Finnish Nuclear Power Plant.
According to NOAA, GOES-17 monitored the eruption and flooding of the volcano in real time.

GOES-18 offered views of the hottest areas of the lava field, as well as ash and steam emissions.
NOAA-20 took very high-resolution images of the eruption on November 28.
The Finnish Nuclear Power Plant and NOAA-20, GOES-17 and GOES-18 monitored the sulfur dioxide emissions of the eruption. When released, sulfur dioxide reacts with atmospheric gases and particles to form voga dangerous form of air pollution.
Low threat level
Mauna Loa began to erupt November 27 at 23:30 local timeit has erupted for the first time in 38 years.

As of Thursday, lava flow at the planet’s largest active volcano has slowed from 40 feet per hour to 20 feet per hour, according to the Hawaii Volcano Observatory.
The observatory also noted that the lava flow from Mauna Loa’s only active fissure, Fissure 3, is now 1.7 miles from the island’s main highway. Saddle road.

Also known as Hawaii Route 200, the highway may have to be closed as the lava approaches, so officials are closely monitoring the situation.
