The scientists showed satellite images showing a large cloud of lava, ash and poisonous gas.
On Monday, November 28, the eruption of the world’s largest active volcano, Mauna Loa, began in Hawaii. It became known in early October when the sleeping giant for almost 40 years began to “grunt”, but now the whole world is watching its eruption, writes the Daily Mail.
Satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) also did not stand by and watched the volcanic eruption. NOAA later released satellite images showing the heat signature of the eruption, as well as a cloud of lava, ash, and gas spreading northeast of Hawaii.

Scientists offer a view of the Mauna Loa eruption from space – the images show an incredible heat signature emanating from the giant as of 9.30 GMT on November 28.
Local authorities say the lava flow is mostly at the top of the volcano, but the United States Geological Survey (USGS) warns it’s worth remembering that, based on previous Mauna Loa eruptions, the situation could change quickly. Currently the volcano’s danger level has reached its highest level, the locals have been warned and are ready for any development.
Note that Mauna Loa rises 4169 meters above sea level and covers an area of 5179 square kilometers. The volcano is one of the five volcanoes that make up the Big Island of Hawaii. Note that Mauna Loa isn’t the tallest volcano, but it rightfully holds the title of the largest—it makes up about half of the island’s landmass.
Researchers state that Mauna Loa has erupted 33 times in total since 1843, with the last waking up in 1984. Based on past eruptions, scientists concluded that the early stages of the Mauna Loa awakening may have been purely dynamic, and the position and progression of lava flows could change rapidly.
