Magnitude 5.6 #earthquake in southern #Iran 45 minutes ago (2022-11-30Z15:17) It is quite shallow so the impact is most likely related to population density in the region. Could be dangerous if vulnerable settlements are hit. Signal on station II.UOSS (University of Sharjah, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, and obtained directly via IRIS)

I bet octopuses think bones are horrific. I bet all their cosmic horror stories involve rigid-limbs and hinged joints.

Today those police-defunding leftists on the City of San Francisco board of supervisors voted to let cops use robots to kill people by blowing them up.

A dusty evening on Mars. I love that we live at a time where we can just see photos from the surfaces of another planet as clearly as if we took them ourselves.

If you haven’t watched this excellent #USGS time-lapse video of the start of the #MaunaLoa eruption taken from the summit thermal camera, you should: https://www.usgs.gov/media/videos/mauna-loa-eruption-2022-thermal-imagery

As we follow the #MaunaLoaEruption, I want to remind everybody that #volcanoes don’t smoke unless they are on fire. The gray plumes you are seeing are ash or vog (volcanic fog).

Correction: as @culturevolcan pointed out, this is NOT the northeastern rift zone, but the southwestern volcano flank.

Citing: "This picture shows in fact a portion of the initial eruptive fracture cutting the upper South-West flank. Mostly gaz release a a few short lava flows there berfore the magma was drained by the North-East Rift Zone"

Looking carefully to the background you may see the South Pit and two small rounded volcanoes that are located SW of the main caldera.
