Heh! Good one!
That doesn’t look good...
I think it bears watching.
How is Mexico going to feel when we all move down there!
Fracking? I think not.
A planet in a long elliptical orbit approaching from the south? Possibly.
Most likely a domino effect, one is setting the others off.
IIRC the Yellowstone caldera has been rising for years and
they’ve been saying it’s due to blow. The last time was
over 600K years ago, so what are the odds?
It is not “hot enough to glow”. Some of the minerals emitted are naturally phosphorescent...like phophorous, and radium for example.
Settled science.
Or you could say it’s almost certain to happen eventually and it’s just as likely to happen next month as any other time.
its not the ground thats glowing
it is a night time camera so the ground looks light because of any one of a number of reasons, but it is not glowing
probable the dew on the ground- since the steam is the same white color
Oooh! goody
I was disappointed at what a flop 12/12/12 turned out to be
Nope. That’s 4 minutes of timelapse video of Old Faithful just steaming, not actually erupting. It can steam for a long time after it finishes actually erupting, and the steam is more dramatic if it’s cold (there’s snow on the ground). As to the nonsense about “bright ground”, that’s nothing more than a combination of snow and a camera with a wide f-stop aperture so it can record in low light conditions. It’s shocking (or maybe not) how willfully-ignorant people will make themselves to serve their pet theories.
Not saying there aren’t or won’t be some kind of reaction from Yellowstone to all the activity on the RoF, but that video hurts rather than helps such claims.
I think it bears watching.

I think they divide number of instances by infinity then they can assure us nothing to see here, just move along and behave. Crowd control is always more of an issue for the authorities than just about anything else.
The faux-Science channel. Between all the crap commercials and making a 20 minute show into an hour by packing in drama and unfounded opinion I gave it up a while back.
That’s nice. What does a normal cold, clear night look like?
Story says even though it’s night it looks like broad daylight.
A full moon and low light camera will do that, and allow one to see the stars in the background...
Well we know how they have nailed the climate change thing. We have seen the poles disappear, hurricanes devastate the gulf and atlantic coast, huge megastorms sucking up metro areas in force 6-7-8 tornadoes, coastal cities like Miami and NYC underwater and the disappearance of snow forever.
Ummm right??
The hot spot is moving NorthWest, toward the Bighorn mountains. I've heard some scientists posit that if it gets under the mountain range before the next major eruption, we may not see another one for a long time.
Oh MAN. Here we go.
The doomsday people have got their attention they wanted. The problem here is, the USGS didnt do themselves any good by taking the seismic chart offline. Hen, one of the head honchos that the U of Utah told one that he wouldnt talk about why.
Here are the facts as I have read them and told by a geologist. That thing goes off, and it will someday, it could well be a global extinction event. It depends on the size of the eruption-meaning even the smallest one historically was much bigger than Tambora? in the early 1800s.
That one caused global famine. Will it go this year? Next Year? When? Nobody knows. But, if anyone thinks that they are safe if outside the fallout zone, they are mistaken. It will cause global cooling worldwide and most of the earths population will die.
So, running around like shickens with your head chopped off isnt going to do any good. Best thing is to get out of the way-which is the responsibilty of the USGS and other agencies. How much time would there be? Weeks.
The one disaster I see happening way before Yellowstone is the Cascadia Fault. That one is close to happening.
But Yogi, the ranger isn't gonna like it...
F#$% the ranger Boob....the place is about to blow and I'm not going on an empty stomach.....
OH. YELLOWstone....
never mind.
Jedi.
