NASA Satellite Gallery Shows Chilean Volcano Plume Moving Around the World

Here's a cool story I wrote yesterday using satellite imagery to track the volcanic ash plume from the Chilean Volcano around the world. 

FEATURE/IMAGE GALLERY: NASA Satellite Gallery Shows Chilean Volcano Plume Moving Around the World
Since its eruption in early June, several NASA satellites have captured images of the ash plume from the eruption of the Chilean Volcano called Puyehue-Cordón Caulle and have tracked it around the world. NASA has collected them in the NASA Goddard FLICKR image gallery that shows the progression of the plume around the southern hemisphere.
