Some priest person was convinced that Merapi wouldn't be as dangerous as it actually was and convinced people that to stay around. People trusted him since he was well-known and the volcano hadn't been too dangerous before.
Looking at the images above, you can see why you might not want to inhale volcanic ash. You can find volcanic ash health & safety information here (by the group led by @claire_horwell): https://t.co/vysDfuG4E3

Here's how I'm doing so far on Stall Catchers. I look forward to getting further as well. While a little complicated at times, it's really fun, and I would definitely recommend giving it a try if you have time.

The supermassive black hole is 4 times the size of the Sun, and the Sun is 109 times the size of Earth. So this supermassive black hole is 436 times the size of Earth.

If a human were to be sucked into a black hole, they would likely succumb to the intense pressure of the black hole, which is notorious for being able to snuff out the light of nearby stars.

I am searching through the images in Stellar Watch (https://t.co/0IzKR6lnI3) for any sea lions that have markings on them.

This volcanois forming a lava dome, which is like a pile of lava. It's pretty big, and apparently it's still growing. That's pretty fascinating actually.
Lava domes are dangerous plugs/spines of viscous lava. They can be unstable & result in explosive eruptions & pyroclastic flows (block-and-ash flows when they collapse). You can see the growth of the current Merapi dome over 2018-19.
