Volcanic Plume These images were specially processed to show detail both on the surface of and in the faint plume. This volcano is named .

Polar plumes are long thin streamers that project outward from the Sun's north and south poles. We often find bright areas at the footpoints of these features that are associated with small magnetic regions on the solar surface.

Plumes from the volcanoes extend to more than 300 kilometers (190 miles) above the surface. The Voyagers observed material ejected at velocities up to a kilometer per second.

"Plumes" of outward flowing, hot gas in the Sun's atmosphere may be one source of the solar "wind" of charged particles.

A plume of smoke and ash belches from Sicily's Mount Etna in this image snapped by International Space Station commander Yuri Usachev. The volcano began erupting last month. More JPL images of the volcano from orbit.

Dust Plume This is an example of a dust plume in the Solis Planum region. This image was taken during the springtime for this region.

Solar plumes Long, feathery jets that expel a high-speed stream of electrified gas from the corona. They extend from near the solar poles to more than 13 million miles into space. More about solar plumes...

SOLAR PLUME A solar plume is a long, feathery jet of high-speed electrified gas that is expelled from the Sun's corona. Solar plumes emanate near the Sun's poles and travel over 13 million miles (21 million km) into space.

tail -- the plume of gas and dust from a comet. The plume is produced by the solar wind and radiation pressure acting on the comet. The tail points away from the Sun and gets longer as the comet approaches perihelion.

polar plume (SOHO Glossary - GSFC) Bright structure of out-flowing gas which occur along magnetic field lines in coronal holes. These field lines extend into the solar system.

Volcanoes can be caused by "mantle plumes". These so-called "hotspots" , for example at Hawaii, can occur far from plate boundaries. Hotspot volcanoes are also found elsewhere in the solar system, especially on rocky planets and moons.

Picked for bizarre appearance - interacting systems, plumes, dust lanes, twisted arms. Very deep Palomar photographs. Scanned images of high quality are available from NED.

Once in a while, a truly massive plume of hot rock from the Earth's mantle can erupt through the crust for centuries or even millenia, producing acid rains, destruction of the ozone layer from emissions of chlorine-bearing compounds, ...

Ammonia freezes in the low temperature of Jupiter's upper atmosphere (-125°C or -193°F), forming the white cirrus clouds-zones, ovals, and plumes seen in many photographs transmitted by the Voyager spacecraft.

The heat escapes through powerful eruptions spewing sulfur compounds in giant umbrella-shaped plumes up to almost 300 kilometers above the surface.

At least two of the streaks, and perhaps dozens, are the result of active, geyser-like plumes erupting during the Voyager 2 flyby.

Striking photos of actual eruptions with plumes 300 km high were sent back by both Voyagers (right) and by Galileo (bottom left image on this page) This may have been the most important single discovery of the Voyager missions; ...

In March 2006 Cassini mission scientists presented images of plumes of material erupting into the space around Enceladus. These are thought to be jets from pools of liquid water just beneath the moon's surface.

In this view from the southwest the red blobs are warmer plumes of less dense material, rising principally into the ocean-ridge spreading centers. A huge plume seems to be feeding spreading at the East Pacific Rise directly from the core.

The plume Pele is 1000 km across. Infrared observations indicate that liquid sulfur lakes may be present on the surface, and Loki may have an iceberg floating in a sulfur lake.

It has discovered two new rings (the Janus/Epimetheus and the Pallene rings), lakes of liquid hydrocarbons on Titan, plumes of water ice erupting on Enceladus, plus a whole lot more. And its job is far from over.

The power level surged, the reactor vessel burst, and the hot steam and graphite (as well as combustible zirconium metal used in the fuel rods) reacted with hot steam and with oxygen of the atmosphere to produce an intense fire, whose plume rose to ...

Tektites formed during impacts on Earth when plumes of vapor and melted rock pierced the atmosphere. The impact debris traveled briefly through space before reentering the atmosphere--spreading the tektites over huge areas called strewnfields.

On Venus, circular features, not caused by impacts, they are domed plains caused by the rising plumes of molten rock from below. Coronagraph A telescope designed to photograph the inner corona of the sun.

Hot Spot center of persistent volcanism, thought to be the surface expression of a rising hot plume in Earth's mantle.

The shell increased in strength and attained its maximum intensity in 1945; thereafter it weakened and was scarcely visible by 1954. In 1972 it developed another shell. It is rotating so fast that it is unstable. [H76] Plume ...
