Dispatches from Volcano: Monday, November 8, 2021. "at a significantly diminished rate"

I know...so soon? Well...Stuff happens, things change. Best to ReadLook for yourself:

The amount of sulphur dioxide this morning was measured at 250 tonnes per day. The SO2 is released as pele erupts. More pele more SO2. At the start of the current luaʻi pele (eruption), SO2 was 85,000 tonnes per day. Then, the thermal image a few hours after Pele reappeared.

And now, about 3p, Monday, November 8, 2021.

And The Caution: We see Now, and have no idea what itʻll look like After Now. Just gotta stay tuned. Part of the tuning is looking, as always, at ōlaʻi, earthquakes...Hardly get...

And the graph of Tilt for the week. The HVO Update above referenced Deflation: The downward slope of the graph, but turned up at the time of this screenshot.

Today, from my perch on the pā pōhaku at Keanakākoʻi, the "plume" at 113p, such as it was, was very diffuse. Look REAL good about a third in from left side, just above railing...that fuzzy blueness of fume.

Now...Last night was pretty awesome. Had friends visiting, and we walked out to Kūpinaʻi. Was just us. Just as we were leaving, a couple of other folks showed up, as they passed us as we were walking back. It never ceases to amaze me how little time visitors spend watching Pelehonuamea at work.

And before we got there, at 2000hrs (8p) hf was there solo photoing the conjunction of Hōkūloa (Venus), and Mahina, three days into its current cycle. Love just that hint of glow.

And as for us 5, we were quite taken by the glow, and by the watching planets. Below is a short time lapse by nap. Aohōkū (Jupiter) at upper left. Diagonally down and right is Makulu (Saturn). Browsing Hawaiian Dictionaries, it appears that there are names for the planets depending on whether theyʻre seen in the morning or in the evening. Something I need to study and learn about. I appreciate looking at stars, but aside from basic constellations, UpThere is not a forte.
