Calbuco Thermal Infrared
I think this is one of the cooler images I've collected (even though it didn't get very many instagram likes). From April 27th Landsat 8 6-5-4 false color composite on the left and band 10 on the right. Band 10 is one of the Thermal Infrared bands, so the lighter areas show more heat and darker show less. Even smoke from a volcano gets relatively cool once in the atmosphere.
Pretty cool, right?

The Calbuco volcano in southern Chile has erupted twice in the space of a few hours - having lain dormant for decades.
Footage from the area shows a huge column of lava and ash being sent several kilometres into the air.
The authorities have declared a red alert and evacuated more than 4,000 people within a 20km (12 mile) radius.
The Calbuco volcano is one of the most active in Chile, but its eruption took officials in the area by surprise.
Alejandro Verges, an emergency director for the region, said Calbuco had not been under any special form of observation.
