Alaska volcano erupts with new intensity, disrupts local flights

An Alaska volcano spewing ash and lava for the past six weeks erupted with new intensity early on Tuesday, belching a plume of cinders 5 miles into sky and onto a nearby town and disrupting local flights, officials said.

The eruptions from Pavlof Volcano, on the Alaska Peninsula 590 miles southwest of Anchorage, were its most powerful since its current eruptive phase began with low-level rumblings in mid-May, according to scientists at the federal-state Alaska Volcano Observatory.

A group of astronomers from the George Mason University has succeeded for the first time, relate a Coronal Mass Ejection with solar plasma arc. The finding, published in Nature Communications, can help predict when these violent

Phenomena take place, can cause serious damage to the Earth.

Among all known solar phenomena, the Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) is probably the greatest concern to scientists. Huge masses of charged particles the Sun ejects without notice and in any direction, including our planet. Burning clouds of radiation traveling millions of miles.  Per hour than regularly rammed earth and have the potential to "fry", literally, our power grids and communications, plunging us into a long period of darkness and silence.
