Beautiful Tuesday sunset

Another beautiful sunset courtesy of Kasatochi aerosols left over from the early August
eruption in Alaska’s Aleutian Island chain

Mike Frankowski of South Elgin never misses out on an opportunity to share beautiful
photos with us---like this sunset Tuesday evening (9/2). Aerosols produced by the
eruption of the Kasatochi Volcano in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands—an eruption which on
August 8 of this year sent a thick plume of ash 35,000 ft. into the atmosphere---are
acting on sunlight globally and producing especially vivid sunset over a large swath of
the planet. Our thanks to Mike for sharing this stunning sunset with us!
