Anak Krakatau at Night
Anak Krakatau is an off-shoot from the famous Krakatoa volcano that gave us the biggest volcanic explosion in modern history. Anak Krakatau surfaced from under the ocean in 1927, and has been belching fire and smoke continuously since earlier this year.
Marco Fulle, of the Osservatorio Astronomico di Trieste, took this great photograph of "Anak" from the nearby island of Rakata. Notice the stars of the Big Dipper just above the volcano.
