A Pacific volcano erupted with an explosive force more than 600 times the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, scientists said

The caption will look like this.

The US launched a bomb into space during the Cold War. The highest-altitude nuclear test was called Starfish Prime. If we tried the same experiment with a 50 megaton bomb, what would happen?

The volcano is off the coast of Tonga.

A volcano erupted on January 15 and caused a major wave in the Pacific.

Krakatau, which killed thousands, may be the loudest eruption since.

Scientists said that the volcano blast had a yield of around 10 megatons.

A powerful blast was heard thousands of miles away in Alaska after an underwater volcano erupted near the Pacific island nation of Tonga. Scientists said that it was probably one of the most loud events on the planet in the last 100 years.

The eruption of the Indonesian volcano Krakatau in 1884 might be the loudest eruption since.

The eruption destroyed an island and caused a wave. Scientists used a scale to assess the blast yield of nuclear weapons.

James Garvin, the chief scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, told NPR that they came up with a number that's around 10 megatons of TNT equivalent.

The volcano blast was equivalent to the force of 667 "Little Boy" atomic bombs.

The US Stormwatch is on January 15, 2022.

The first nuclear weapon ever used in combat was called "Little Boy" and was assigned a nickname. The bomb that was dropped from a B-29 Superfortress bomber was loaded with a high level of enriched uranium and exploded in the air with a force of 15,000 tons of TNT.

The US and the Soviet Union tested nuclear weapons. The most powerful nuclear weapon the US ever tested was Castle Bravo, which blew up with a force of 15 megatons.

A British national, a 65-year-old woman from Mango island and a 49-year-old man from Nomuka island were killed in the event.

The nation's main island, Togatapu, was ravaged by the waves. The government report stated that all homes were destroyed on Mango island.

A view through the window of a New Zealand Defence Force P3K2 Orion surveillance flight shows a heavy ash fall over Nomuka.

Poland told NPR that the eruption was relatively small. Ash can be expelled for hours from other explosions. The eruption of Pinatubo lasted less than 60 minutes.

He told the outlet that it had an outsized impact, well beyond the area that he would have expected. That's the thing that's just a scratcher.

Business Insider has an original article.

The volcano that erupted off the South Pacific island of Tonga at the weekend was obscured from satellites by a sea-level crater that was destroyed by the explosion. The eruption of the volcano on the Pacific Ring of Fire sent waves across the ocean and was heard in New Zealand. "The concern at the moment is how little information we have and that's scary," said a New Zealand-based volcanologist.

Waves crossed the ocean to cause an oil spill and two people drowned in Peru after a volcano blast. The U.N. humanitarian officials and the government of the Kingdom of Tonga reported damage to the infrastructure around the island of Tongatapu.

Rosie, a golden retriever mix, was disowned by her previous owners. She was pregnant and close to birth when she was left in a shelter.

The number of Americans leaving the country seems to be increasing. Where are they going?

The South Pacific archipelago of Tonga could be cut off from the rest of the world for days or even weeks because of difficulties in repairing its sole undersea communications cable, which was damaged during a massive volcanic eruption. The explosion of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano on Saturday caused waves to hit the Pacific Ocean so that the line was lost in waters about 23 miles offshore. The repair of Tonga's critical 827-km fibre-optic link to Fiji depends on the arrival of a specialized ship in Port Moresby.
