Hawaiian Volcanoes: A volcanic haze emanates from a cloudy Island of Hawaii (right side of image). The plume, which was photographed by the STS-95 crew on November 2, 1998, is composed primarily of water vapor and sulfur dioxide — release of such gasses is an ongoing process at Kilauea, although this plume is particularly noticeable. Kilauea's eruptive activity has been vigorous since late August. This phase of the eruption began October 22.
