Volcano & the night sky..
Foreground: View of the Halemaʻumaʻu crater
Background: Orion, Taurus, Pleiades cluster
The Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park encompasses two active volcanoes: Kīlauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, the world's most massive shield volcano.
Kīlauea is an active shield volcano in the park. Halemaʻumaʻu is a pit crater within the much larger Kīlauea Caldera. On December 20, 2020, an eruption broke out within Halemaʻumaʻu. The volcanic activity seen in our video is from Halemaʻumaʻu.
Date taken: November 2021

Locations visible: The annular phase of this solar eclipse is visible from parts of Russia, Greenland, and northern Canada. Weather permitting, those in Northern Asia, Europe, and the United States will see a partial eclipse. [See map attached to this post]
In the comments, we will list links to various live streams of the annular solar eclipse from various parts of the world.

𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
---- Solar Eclipse: Occurs when the Moon comes in between the Sun and the Earth, blocking our view of the Sun.
---- Total Solar Eclipse: The Moon covers the entire disk of the Sun.
---- Partial Solar Eclipse: The Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, but the Moon only partially covers the Sun's disk.
---- Annular Solar Eclipse: Occurs when the Moon's apparent size is not big enough to block the Sun completely. At maximum eclipse, the Sun appears as a very bright ring (or annulus) with the dark disk of the Moon at its center.
