The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of the eruption on March 6.

Summary edit

Description
English: Mount Kirishima, a tall cluster of stratovolcanoes which tower over Kagoshima Bay on the Japanese island of Kyushu, rained ash on the region in early March 2018. According to news reports, dozens of airline flights were cancelled and cars in the town of Kirishima were covered with ash. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of the eruption on March 6. In this image, the large red hotspot marks the hot, erupting vent of Shinmoedake, one of 18 smaller volcanic vents that make up Mount Kirishima. There have been more than 60 recorded eruptions from Mount Kirishima, primarily from the Shinmoedake and Ohachi vents. A major and violent eruption occurred at Kirishima in 2011, with limited activity since that time.
Date Taken on 6 March 2018
