About this recording
Published 2026-05-27. NASA was watching this volcano from space… and most people never heard about it. Mayon Volcano in the Philippines has been active for months, with lava near the summit, rockfalls, ashfall, pyroclastic-flow impacts, evacuations, and satellite monitoring. NASA satellites captured heat signatures from the volcano, while PHIVOLCS monitored Mayon from the ground. This archived recording reflects reporting at publication; conditions may have changed.
