      Clouds surrounded the Hawaiian Islands on January 9, 2023, when the   
      Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s   
      Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of the idyllic scene.   
      
      Hawaii was admitted as the 50th state of the United States in 1959, and   
      is the only state made up entirely of islands. Sometimes called “The   
      Crossroads of the Pacific”, this state lies about 2,397 miles (3,857   
      km) west of San Francisco, California and 5,293 miles (8,516 km) east   
      of Manila, in the Philippines. From east to west, the major islands are   
      Hawaii, Maui, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau.   
      
      Hawaii is the largest island, earning it the nickname “Big Island”. The   
      red “hot spot” visible on the island of Hawaii marks Kilauea volcano,   
      which is in eruption. On January 5, a surge of lava was reported from   
      the volcano’s Halema’uma’u crater. According to the National Park   
      Service, “Visitors and rangers saw awe-inspiring fountains that roared   
      164 feet (50 meters) into the air. Lava flows inundated the crater   
      floor within hours and filled a 277-acre (112 hectares) area; roughly   
      the size of 240 American football fields.”
