A large magmatic eruption is taking place at the volcano right now. Based on satellite imagery, VAAC Darwin spotted a high-level ash and SO2 plume reaching 47,000 ft (15 km) altitude moving WNW.
A strong thermal hot spot is detected as well. Both the webcam on Anak Krakatau Island and from the coast (in 40 km distance) show strong lava fountaining from the volcano.
This seems to be the strongest eruptive phase since the violent phreatomagmatic activity following the partial collapse of the volcano on 22 Dec 2018, which had triggered a deadly tsunami that killed hundreds of people on Java's west coast.

Well, it does not look there will be baseball this year.
This was one of the biggest eruptions of all time: Mt. Tambora. It brought about the year without a summer.

More damage to earth and climate than any plastic bags could create. Waiting for CNN to blame the volcanic eruption on plastic bags...They'll allege plastic bags, thrown by tourist into the volcano blow hole, cased it to build up pressure and erupt.
