Infrared Hotspots
NASA's TERRA satellite took this image of the erupting Kilauea volcano in Hawaii May 6, 2018, showing hotspots on the ASTER instrument's thermal infrared bands – shown in yellow. The hotspots are newly formed fissures and lava flows, NASA officials wrote.
MISR View
This view of the erupting Kilauea volcano from the MISR instrument on NASA's Terra satellite was taken May 6, 2018. Its stereo views let researchers calculate the height of the plumes.

The View from Above
A red alert has been issued after explosions from #Hawaii's Kilauea volcano intensified. Сlouds of volcanic ash rise in the air at 3.7 thousand meters, that's why it is easy to see even from the @Space_Station .
