NASA's Aqua satellite flew over the erupting Shiveluch Volcano in Russia yesterday and captured a visible image of its ash plume. Shiveluch is one of Russia's most active volcano and is currently spewing ash over 6 miles high (10 kilometers) into the atmosphere. That's about 33,000 feet high and just shy of the stratosphere.
