4K version / Eruption of Shinmoedake

Shinmoedake volcano, located on the Japanese island of Kyushu, erupted explosively on March 10, 2018. Ash plume from the eruption reached a height of 4500 meters. Explosion sound reached after about 30 seconds. A meteor appeared before the eruption.
2018年3月10日未明に発生した新燃岳の爆発的噴火。爆発音は噴火30秒後に撮影地点に到達。噴煙高度4,500 m。噴火前、火口上空に流れ星。

[@jacoblee5648]

Sound travels 340m/s. 0:35 eruption starts. You hear the explosion sound at 1:05. It takes 30 seconds. That means he filmed it 10.2km away from the volcano.

Incredible!

Yeah science!

[@flyingkeyframes]

I'll never get tired of volcanoes at night. Terrific footage!

[@AntimatePcCustom]

now. try go closer and say the same thing xD the word is terrifying x'D

[@clobberella]

Great footage. Love the bonus meteor capture at the beginning

[@WarhammerWings]

The actual term is a Bolide. (If you want to use the non Astronomy word, it's a Fireball.) :)

[@13_cmi]

@@WarhammerWings Same thing. A bolide is just a meteor that's more impressive

[@nawtmyrealnamelol]

there are more stars in this video than the entire night sky where I live damn light pollution :(

[@sean2896]

Yeah

[@amanwhsldthewrld1144]

I see a lot

[@yyhbackagain5013]

Swear to god I never really saw the Milky way

[@matthewjk9016]

Stars? You mean aliens taking pictures, c'mon now.

[@thomasmetzinger2096]

It might a setting of the camera that enhances the light expositions. That's why the lava seems so bright too

[@warpey5632]

Imagine It's midnight you're going to the kitchen you grab a snack you look out the window *_and the mountain is on fire_*

[@d.bdisaster6615]

OMG !! I had such a nightmare exactly like this !! From our window I can clearly see the mountain that is hardly 10km away from our locality. Obviously that is not a volcanic mountain but it's rocky appearance makes it a bit creepy looks like it may have volcano. But I had many nightmares on it !!

Also capturing two shooting stars on one two minute video is kind of amazing.

Can u tell me where isit

[@jam2190]

Awesome, love the meteor that goes by right at the start of this

[@slobaru7094]

Even with a volcano errupting, theres still minimal light pollution in the sky.

[@kpd8726]

The meteor was the crown is this eruption. Beautiful and perfect!

[@johnnycats5157]

I see the constellation Cepheus behind the volcano, meaning the camera was looking north-northeast (for March 10th, 2018), so at 10.2km (as calculated by Jacob Lee in the comments) to the south-southwest, probably shot from Kirishima Municipal Junior High School

[@1BobsYourUncle]

Wow, I wish I could see that many stars at night where I live. Never been anywhere where I could. Oh yea, cool volcano eruption....

[@linkedwinters]

Try sites like lightpollutionmaps, you only need to go to a yellow/green or darker to see that many stars and the milky way.

[@Alepbrahim]

There was a shooting star at the beginning of the video. That was awesome spices to it LEL

[@noisytim]

Wow!! Absolutely stunning. Thank you!

what are the odds of catching 2 shooting stars and an active volcano eruption in one video? Amazing footage

[@DiLoMusic]

there's even a shooting star at 0:56 on the left :p

[@johnh.piersoniii7025]

At 0:55, you can see profile of faces forming on the left side of the smoke plume. Trippy! One face looks like its normal and then, one looks like it's screaming.

[@Parzival224]

it is as if a projector were projecting the many souls from the depths of Hades.

[@user-gy1bt3qf6l]

what camera are you using to get this quality of sky in night ?

[@nerdlydood]

I just watched your Sakurajima 12 Nov 19 video and I was reminded, I keep seeing a green laser pointed at the ash plume in a lot of volcano videos... what's going on there?

[@franciscoferraz6788]

Just a guess, but maybe it's used to point some analysis device. A spectrometer or thermometer maybe.

[@kuunib7325]

Maybe someone is measuring the density of the ash cloud.

[@michalgeppert5373]

I have a green laser that would easily reach this ash from where it was recorded. It was very cheap, literally anyone can buy it.

[@LifelessTooth]

Kinda crazy how there are so many 4k cameras that just happen to be rolling atr the exact moment volcanoes erupt, each trained on the exact spot the eruption happens...

[@clydefrog4058]

They know it gonna erupt, it is just a matter of when you egghead

[@Strelokos666]

I don't even have that much sight clarity to see any stars in the dark sky

[@bibipeach6]

Go to New Mexico. Ull be amazed

[@ChrisTopheRaz]

So this camera was set up approximately 6 miles away plus or minus a few feet depending on humidity and temperature at the site. I think it’s Japan right? Could be a little closer to 5 miles then.

the stars....mesmerizing

[@ninosmall6843]

How weird is it that the sound of a volcano erupting sounds just like a whip crack

[@MoonshineTora]

I was thinking the same thing. I'd expect more of a sonic boom kind of sound. These are scaring the shit out of me every time. But then again, we are heavily influenced by movie-magic. If I would have heard this sound, I'd thought the local hunter was on a roll tonight.

[@archieohare]

Terrific and beautiful!
