Description
English: On June 15, 1991, the NOAA-10 satellite used its AVHRR instrument to capture what looks like a powerful thunderstorm erupting just past sunset over the Philippines. In actuality, the satellite caught a post-eruption ash cloud from Mt. Pinatubo that was estimated to reach as high as 40 km (25 miles) into the atmosphere. It's estimated that Pinatubo injected more than twice the amount of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere than the 1982 eruption of El Chichón. The fine particles shot into the atmosphere caused a measurable cool down of the globe for about two years after the eruption.
