Explanation:
Mt. Etna
has been erupting for hundreds of thousands of years.
Located in Sicily,
Italy,
the volcano produces lava fountains
over one kilometer high.
Mt. Etna is not only one of the
most active volcanoes on
Earth,
it is one of the largest, measuring over 50 kilometers at
its base and rising nearly 3 kilometers high.
Pictured in 2001 May, the tops of two
lava plumes
are visible near the center of the frame,
while hot lava flowing down the
volcano is visible on the left.
This panoramic shot also includes the
city lights of Calabria and Taormina on the left,
and Catania on the right.
The Earth's rotation
is discernable on
this long duration image as
star trails.
Orange
Mars
can be seen rising just below the star
Antares far in the distance.
