Description

Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii, part of largest hotspot plumes on Earth, is erupting with its 46th episode today May 5th 2026. This comes less than 24 hours after a sneaky solar storm transient embedded in the solar wind hit Earth and triggered a surprise moderate G2 to then G1 geomagnetic storm. Commentary by geophysicist Stefan Burns and live feed of the eruption provided by the USGS.

I'm on eastern Maui, the point closest to the Big Island. But Kilauea is still very far from me because the Big Island is so wide. I haven't felt ant tremors (magma rearranging) or seen any vog. The steady rain I've been getting lately picks up trace metals in the air from this eruption and makes my acre more fertile.

Sounds like someone is doing construction in your neighborhood while you're eating soup or cereal or poi and watching magma.
