NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this image of the aftermath of the eruption Alaska’s Mount Redoubt erupted on March 26, 2009, and released by NASA March 30, 2009. The volcano sent a plume of ash at least 65,000 feet above sea level, said the National Weather Service. A cloud of tan ash extends from the volcano south and east. The ash colors the clouds south of Anchorage—an indication that the volcanic plume rose above the cloud level. A dark-colored streak extends south of the volcano where ash had fallen on the snow.
