Volcanism is not confined to planet Earth and thanks to decades of revolutionary work by planetary scientists, we now have abundant evidence that volcanism exists on every terrestrial planet, on many of the moons and even some asteroid belts! Read more...High resolution images released by NASA on Christmas Day 2020 have provided further insight into some of this extra-terrestrial volcanism, potentially revealing more clues to the volcanic past of the Red Planet.

Earthquakes under Etna volcano during 31 Dec 2020-2Jan 2021
A series of earthquakes shook the flanks of Etna volcano during the past days. Since the afternoon of 31 Dec 2020 until this morning, a swarm of tremors has occurred at depths of 10-15 km mainly under the southern flank of the volcano. Read more...A total of almost 40 quakes of magnitudes of up to 3.8 have been recorded, most of them on 31 Dec and early 1 Jan. The strongest quakes were widely felt by people living on the southern slopes of Etna. There are no signs that that these quakes have affected the activity at the summit craters, which has been calming down gradually, and seems to consist only of sporadic (if any) weak strombolian activity and some ash emissions from the New SE crater and, to lesser extent, the Voragine central crater.
