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 Plume Simulation
Polar plumes are being modelled by Steve Suess, Shyamsundar Parhi, and Martin Sulkanen. Plumes are bright rays in coronal holes, visible between one and several solar radii.
Polar Plume is a bright structure of out-flowing gas which occurs along magnetic field lines in coronal holes. These field lines extend out into the Solar System.
Plumes of ice and water vapour were first seen jetting from the so-called tiger stripes at the moon's south pole in 2005.
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.
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.

SOLAR PLUME
A solar plume is a long, feathery jet of high-speed electrified gas that is expelled from the . Solar plumes emanate near the Sun's poles and travel over 13 million miles (21 million km) into space.
Volcanic plumes in Io's polar regions don't show up often and then are short-lived. When they assigned the task to Galileo, the scientists didn't know whether the Tvashtar volcano would be erupting or not.

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, ...
Great plumes of smoke, soot, and dust would be sent aloft from these fires, lifted by their own heating to high altitudes where they could drift for weeks before dropping back or being washed out of the atmosphere onto the ground.
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.
However, jets in FR-I galaxies are two-sided, and the radio structures are often distorted and plume-like.
At least two of the streaks, and perhaps dozens, are the result of active, geyser-like plumes erupting during the Voyager 2 flyby.
These tails are actually plumes of dust and gas that are ejected from the comet as it nears the Sun. Comets are composed of frozen ice and dust.
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; ...
Some of the volcanic fountains, or plumes, cover an area larger than Texas. They are active for different periods of time.
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.
Wide-field imagery from Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory in Chile shows a bewildering variety of ripples, loops and plumes immersed in the galaxy's outer envelope.
It may have been caused by a "plume" of upwelling material in the youthful Martian mantle.
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.
The small, dynamic moon spews out dramatic plumes of water vapor and ice -- first seen by NASA's Cassini spacecraft in 2005. It possesses simple organic particles and may house liquid water beneath its surface.
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 ...
Cassini flew through the plume in early October. The water squirts from cracks in Enceladus' icy surface. It freezes as it flies into space. Some of the ice particles renew one of Saturn's outer rings. [NASA/JPL/SSI] ...

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.

Hot Spot
center of persistent volcanism, thought to be the surface expression of a rising hot plume in Earth's mantle.
Also, in pine forests the thick layer of the heat storing biomoss (dead pine needles) releases heat plumes after the Sun sets. Combined with the up and down airflow this heat causes much turbulence over the trees.

Olympus is very similar to Mauna Loa and the other basaltic shield volcanoes on the Earth since it is very wide and spread out. Like the volcanoes of Hawaii, it and the other volcanoes on Tharsis are hot spot volcanoes, created by a plume of ...
