There's a lunar eclipse going on right now, if you're not doing anything and have a clear sky. Totality begins in about half an hour from the timestamp of this post, but Moon is already super dim and red from where I am, and you've got a good two hours or so to get out and see it.

I wanna know where the former owner of the foot is now. I'm hoping other partial body parts from them don't start popping up elsewhere.

Probably dissolved, like this guy from a few years ago:

Colin Scott, 23, was looking for a ‘hot pot’ to swim in with his sister and rescuers concluded that extreme heat and acidity dissolved remains

Mauna Loa is powering up.

MSN

The world's largest active volcano has erupted in Hawaii for the first time in nearly four decades, officials said.

Mauna Loa erupted at 11:30 p.m. local time Sunday (4:30 a.m. ET Monday), the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was the first eruption since 1984, according to its Hawaii Volcano Observatory daily update.

The eruption began in Moku‘āweoweo, the summit caldera of Mauna Loa, inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the agency said, as it upgraded the volcano's alert level from an "advisory" to a "warning."

"At this time, lava flows are contained within the summit area and are not threatening downslope communities," the agency said in a news release. "Winds may carry volcanic gas and possibly fine ash and Pele’s hair downwind," it said, referring to a type of lava.

Yeah so far it's a lazy and unthreatening lava flow, nothing spectacular really, but I mean the biggest volcano in the world erupting at all is still an exciting deal.

Note that this volcano is different from Kilauea, which is the one that recently erupted and had a crater-floor collapse and refill. Both are children of the Hawaii Hotspot but the two volcanoes aren't really "connected" in the sense that they don't share any plumbing and one's erupting doesn't necessarily have any effect on the other.

Hawaii volcano eruption has some on alert, draws onlookers

HILO, Hawaii (AP) — The first eruption in 38 years of the world’s largest active volcano is attracting onlookers to a national park for “spectacular” views of the event, and it's also dredging up bad memories among some Hawaii residents who have been through harrowing volcanic experiences in the...

This is the level of natural disaster I find acceptable.
