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 erupting last month,
a lava plume
shoots upwards, while hot lava
flows down the volcano's exterior.
Likely satellite trails appear above, while
ancient stars dot the sky far in the distance.
This volcanic eruption was so strong that nearby
airports
were closed
to keep planes from flying through the dangerous plume.
The image foreground and background were
captured
consecutively
by the same camera and from the same location.
