This astonishing satellite photography shows one of the world’s most famous and dangerous volcanoes (Mount Vesuvius in Italy) to play the hide with an orbit spaceship through a mysterious hole in the clouds.
The 2022 satellite photography, captured by Joshua Stevens of NASA, shows the summit of Monte Vesuviopeeking through a mysterious hole in the clouds.
Vesuvius, commonly designated as the European-time pump It is a 1,281 meter high stratumcution, situated by Naples on the Italian western coast.
Is famous for a massive eruption in 79 AD, which destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneumand killed about 2,000 people. Incredibly, half of the victims were perfectly preserved by pyroclastic flows, along with their homes and goods.
As it currently refers to about 800,000 people live on the slopes of the volcano and up to 3 million reside in the potential danger zone of future eruptions, which makes Vesuvio “One of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world”according to the NASA Land Observatory, quoted by the same magazine.
In the image, the Vesuvio boiler – a large glass -shaped depression caused by the collapse of the mountain summit during an earlier eruption – it seems peer through an opening in the clouds like a giant eye.

Mysterious hole in the sky
As Live Science writes, it is not known exactly what caused the gap in the thick clouds that covered Vesuvius and Naples.
However, the circular shape of the hole is similar to the circular holes made in the clouds by airplanes, known as “Fall holes”. It is plausible that an airplane that took off or landed at Naples airport may have created the hole.
Vesuvius is part of Campania’s volcanic arch-a series of volcanoes in Italy, including the currently active Monte Etna, which is on the border between African and Euro-Asian tectonic plates.
The last great eruption of the volcano ended in 1944. However, scientists believe that We may not be away from the next big eruption.
He was Katherine Barnesin a study in 2011 in Naturewhich named Vesuvius as “The Comic Bomb of Europe”.
