Kīlauea Volcano — Enlargement of Summit Eruptive EventThis image shows radar data acquired by the European Space Agency's Sentinel-1 satellite over Kīlauea Volcano on May 19 at 6:30 PM HST (left) compared to May 25 at 6:30 PM HST (right). The satellite transmits a radar signal toward the surface and measures the strength of the return, with bright areas indicating a strong return and dark areas a weak return.

Kīlauea Volcano – USGS 24 Hour Watch: Monitoring Lava Flow
Kīlauea Volcano – USGS 24 Hour Watch: Monitoring Lava FlowScientists from the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory are part of a 24 hour watch during the ongoing eruption on the lower east rift zone of the Kīlauea Volcano. Working in shifts they keep an eye on where the lava activity is and where it might move to.
