And we are a danger to the planet with our CO2 emissions? AlGore could do a public duty by jumping into the volcano and thus plug it up...

I like that. The North Star is just below the horizon at the base of the volcano, so of course the view is due north.
As for CO2, how many times does it have to be pointed out that volcanic emissions do not dominate emissions due to fossil fuel combustion? Do the math.

I went to the Big Island of Hawaii a couple of months ago. I was disappointed that the lava floes are not currently visible from the location they let you view the activity from. You can only see some steam explosions far off in the distance and reflected red color in the steam clouds at night.

FWIW, Krakatoa was the name of the first volcano. This one, as has been stated, is
Anak Krakatoa. In Bahasa Indonesia the word
anak means
child. Thusly, the name of the volcano which has arisen over the site of the previous volcano (which lost its head in the 1800s) is
Child of Krakatoa.
Just thought I'd throw this tidbit out there. Don't quite know why.

I wasn’t going to post this, as it has nothing at all to do with astronomy. The last few days didn’t offer much from the apod.
I don’t know why anyone at NASA thinks this has anything to do with astronomy. But I smell climate change! There must be a budget meeting upcoming with some representative who wants to play spewing for dollars.

I don’t think Krakatoa ever stopped being active.
I sailed a sloop through the straits in 1972 and the whole area was steaming, smoking and bubbling.
It was really awe inspiring even then.
No island visible at that time though.
