VOLCANO IN CATANIA, ITALY BELCHES SMOKE RINGS INTO THE SKY
📹 Scenes from Catania, Sicily, south of the Italian peninsula where a volcano renewed activity in recent days, seen here belching smoke rings known as "Volcanic vortex" rings.

Volcanic Vortex Rings occurs when enough pressure builds up so that magma inside the crater propels condensed gases, predominantly water vapor, through the vent.

Etna's Blowing Rings
Mount Etna has long been known for its smoke rings, but thanks to the opening of a new vent on the volcano's southeast crater, it's now making more rings than ever. Etna's smoke rings are, more precisely, vortex rings -- produced in the same way dolphins, swimmers, and whales make vortex rings: a sudden push of air through a roughly circular opening.

Supernova Rings
Some 20,000 years ago, a massive star blew off a ring of dust and gas that expanded into the surrounding interstellar medium. Later, in 1987, the star exploded as supernova 1987A. That explosion lit the surrounding area, revealing a clumpy ring astronomers have struggled to explain. But a new team believes they have a fluid dynamical answer: the Crow instability.

Vortex Rings From a Square Outlet
When a vortex ring forms, it's often from fluid forced through a round outlet, whether that's someone's mouth, a pipe, or a dolphin's blowhole. But vortex rings can come from other shapes, too. (Image, video, and research credit: B. Steinfurth et al.) Read the full article
Vortex Below
When a drop of ethanol lands on a pool of water, surface tension forces draw it into a fast-spreading film. Evenly-spaced plumes form at the edges of the film, then the film stops spreading and instead retracts. All of this takes place in about 0.6 seconds. (Image and research credit: A. Pant and B.
