Look at that: Two Hawaii volcanoes going at the same time! #MaunaLoa and #Kilauea are working together to release some of Earth's bottled-up heat.

Amazing night shot of #MaunaLoa and #Kilauea, erupting side by side.

They are both powered by the same source: A 2000-kilometer deep plume of hot rock that's been rising beneath the Pacific for the past 85 million years.

@robdavies Looking a little ragged after the long undersea journey from Tokyo, perhaps.

Amazing if worrying shot. Absolutely beautiful and scary at the same time.

There should be dragons in the sky.

@coreyspowell side by side = 40 miles apart, but this is an amazing photo!
I love these perspectives. This one is Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualalai all together. Hard to even comprehend the massive scale of these volcanos in a photo alone.

@saltphoenix When you spend a lot of time writing about planetary science and cosmology, 40 miles seems like nothing...

@coreyspowell @jeffjarvis Beautiful photo. Have visited Big Island many times 1979-1983, walked beside lava coming out of ground in 2003, niece lived near Hilo several years before lava flows forced her out. If these weren’t shield volcanoes Big Island would be uninhabitable 🙁
