Astronomy Picture of the Day (Light Pillar over Erupting Etna) Can a lava flow extend into the sky? No, but light from the lava flow can. One effect is something quite unusual -- a volcanic light pillar. More typically, light pillars are caused by sunlight and so appear as a bright column that extends upward above a rising or setting Sun. - February 24, 2025 - Shared through Genyframe (Nasa Explorer) by @compez.eth - From Effort to Achievement – $GENY Helps You Share Your Path! 🌟

Alternatively, other light pillars -- some quite colorful -- have been recorded above street and house lights. This light pillar, though, was illuminated by the red light emitted by the glowing magma of an erupting volcano. The volcano is Italy’s Mount Etna, and the featured image was captured with a single shot during an early morning in mid-February. Freezing temperatures above the volcano’s lava flow created ice-crystals either in the air above the volcano or in condensed water vapor expelled by Mount Etna. These ice crystals -- mostly flat toward the ground but fluttering -- then reflected away light from the volcano’s caldera.
