#earth New satellite images have revealed a stunning pattern of concentric cloud rings, resembling a bull's-eye, that was formed by the continued eruption of the volcano on La Palma in Spain's Canary Islands.

Normally, a volcano's eruption plume rises straight up into the stratosphere forming a towering column.

But here hot air of Saharan Air Layer forced the plume to move horizontally. The concentric rings formed because of the natural ebbs and flows in the intensity of volcanic activity.

On the next gif you can see the timelapse of their formation from the ground.

The official name for this type of concentric cloud formation is a gravity wave. However, the formation has nothing to do with gravity.

How do you persuade Flat Earth supporters? Take them to Antarctica!

A group of enthusiasts recently spent more than 25 hours creating a time-lapse meant to convince skeptics that the Earth revolves around the Sun—and then they showed it to dedicated Flat Earthers. The result? It appears the skeptics had little choice but to concede.

One of the most outspoken activists, Jeran Campanella, acknowledged that the Earth is round based on the experiment’s findings. However, he soon faced criticism from former allies who doubted the authenticity of the footage, accusing the filmmakers of using special effects or outright falsifying the results.

The debate might continue, but this time-lapse serves as a stark reminder that evidence, especially when gathered so exhaustively, can sway even the staunchest disbelievers.
