15 Years Ago: Phoenix Mars Lander Launches to the Red Planet
Mars has long fascinated us as a place possibly once hospitable to life. The early robotic missions of the 1960s relayed images of a Moon-like cratered terrain with a forbiddingly cold and thin atmosphere of carbon dioxide.Kelli Mars (NASA)

Lava and Smoke Blanket Fagradalsfjall
Lava is once again spilling from the volcano in southwest Iceland, only this time it is igniting moss fires.go.nasa.gov
Water vapor, carbon dioxide & sulfur dioxide are the most abundant gases in volcanic plumes.
According to satellite sensors like TROPOMI and OMI, winds have mostly pushed the plume over the Atlantic Ocean, but has also affected air quality in Reykjavík.
