Photographer Captures Meteor Streaking Into an Active Volcano

Photographer Gunarto Song was taking photos of Mount Merapi, a very active volcano in Indonesia, when something amazing happened. He witnessed meteors streaking across the sky. And with his camera trained on the volcano, captured in long exposure, a beautifully lit meteor flying directly toward the mouth of Mount Merapi.

Welcome to the Malloy household! As you may have guessed by looking at all the cheating and back and forth these four sims have gone through, this house is absolute chaos!

Just your average family, spoiled mac and cheese on the counter, kids on the floor, everyone's mad at the tv, and the dog is out of food.

And Korey (who seems to be the root of all the trouble) is fighting with our head of household Kasey. Kasey is with Korey's old roommate, Garth, now but, these two had a quick fling while I was in the Lum household. More like he ditched a pregnant Angela to get with her for a day and then moved on to Wanda, another household member!

If you skim forward, be sure to check the end where it speeds up to cover longterm effects.

Ejecta means "stuff tossed out," both from the impactor and the ground.

There's a lag before the tsunamis start. I'm guessing that's because the ocean has to fill the hole in it caused by water simply vaporizing, then the 180 km wide, 20-km deep crater in the Earth's crust, before it can rebound.

The "thermal impact" chart has a heat scale on the left and a luminosity scale on the right, "radiant flux," measuring how many times brighter it is than the Sun.

See below for a key to the the earthquake intensity scale they're using, which you may have seen on "Did you feel it?" shakemaps produced by the USGS.

This simulation suggests the earthquake subsides after about half an hour (YIKES), but recent studies hint the Earth may have quivered for days, even months.
