Details:
After so much overcast weather, yesterday evening saw the first clear sky in weeks. Amazingly, the volcanic aerosols from the January eruption of Hunga Tonga are still with us! Although the glow does not last into astronomical twilight as it once did, the brightness and vivid colours are still evident, if only for a short while.
Silhouetted against this twilight arch is the crooked tip of Wollumbin (Mt Warning), looking like a bent finger. Wollumbin is the remaining central core of an ancient shield volcano eroded away by time and the elements. Being so tall (1159m or 3802ft) and situated close to the east coast, the peak of Wollumbin is the first point on the Australian mainland to receive sunlight each day!
