Tonga volcano eruption yields insights into asteroid impacts on Earth | Space
On Jan. 15, 2022, the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano erupted off the coast of Tonga in the South Pacific Ocean, generating a tsunami and triggering resulting wave action alerts around the world.
The underwater volcanic eruption spewed ash, steam, and gas a radius of over 160 miles (260 kilometers) and more than 12 miles (19 km) into Earth's atmosphere .
Satellite Spots Massive Asteroid Impact Crater in China
In 2019, researchers first described a 1.15-mile-wide crater in a mountain range in northeast China; late la st year, a NASA satellite imaged the crater from space, giving a broad new view the impact's aftermath.
The southern rim of the crater has eroded , so from above the impact site looks more like a crescent. The rim is nearly 500 feet tall at its highest points, the researchers reported, and is slightly wider than China's previously confirmed impact strucgture , Xiuyan, which is 1.12 miles across.
