Child of Krakatoa

16 days ago, I posted a gorgeous photo of Anak Krakatoa erupting, taken at night; it had been the post at the Astronomy Photo of the Day (APOD) site. An article in today's MailOnline (UK) shares a number of other stunning pictures of the eruption from the same photographer.
Speaking of APOD, when I hopped over to the site to get the link, I saw today's photo. t's also a stunner, and geology-related... maybe even volcano-related.The Milky Way over Devil's Tower, Wyoming. (Click either or both pictures for embiggenment, and follow the links for the stories)

Followup: (1:18 PST) The Telegraph also has a gallery of the Krakatoa photos- not as large, but with more photos. I really like the one below; there are a number of interesting features to look at in the exposed layers, as well as in the blast.
