Welcome (back) to Weirdbeautiful.
This week's main science story is that Mount Etna has started erupting again. I was in Sicily during some of the 417 days of its last eruption, which lasted from May 2008-July 2009. This one looks more dramatic than then when I was there. You can see footage of the current eruption online here-
