| Eruption Event Movie - October 27-28, 2004 - Blinded By The Light (Enhanced Special Edition) |
|---|
The VolcanoCam has an apparent limited IR capability. We discovered this when it was found the VolcanoCam was able to record magma extruding into the crater of Mount St. Helens, begining around October 10 and 11, 2004. The full moon of October 27-28, 2004, offers a unique opportunity to view Mount St. Helens at night, complete with magma visibly extruding into the crater as captured by the VolcanoCam. In addition, this night was also a full lunar eclipse. However, by the time the effects of the eclipse ended around 10:00 pm, the full moon and clear night sky afforded an extraordinary view of Mount St. Helens as viewed by the VolcanoCam. Compare this movie to the movie from the previous evening. |
Download Your Own Enhanced Movie Of This Event We "enhanced" all the individual still images in the movie to reduce the noise. Once the lunar eclipse ends, this enhanced version allows you to see the volcano, the snowline, crater, old dome, steam event and glowing magma under a full moon.
Our thanks to a VolcanoCam viewer and supporter (who wishes to remain anonymous) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, who provided assistance to us in developing the enhanced version. |
