2014 March

8-10th March 2014.

Summary of visit:

Since my last visit in December 2013. No new activity was observed with Bromo.

Semeru Volcano (south of the Tengger caldera) now seem to emit white-steam clouds during eruptions. On my previous visits (2011 to mid 2013), the eruption clouds have seemed to contain more brown-black ash.

The Eagle Nebula (Messier 16) photographed at night from the Tengger Caldera. It is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens. This region of active current star formation is about 7000 light-years distant. The single tower of gas that can be seen coming off the nebula is approximately 9.5 light-years or about 90 trillion kilometers long.
