Mile-long underwater volcano could erupt off West Coast this year, scientists say
Scientists are predicting that a mile-long volcano off the U.S. West Coast will erupt this year. The Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano located about 300 miles off the coast of Oregon, is displaying behavior that indicates an eruption is imminent in 2025, William Chadwick, an associate professor of geology at the University of Oregon, told ABC News. MORE: Icelandic volcano previously dormant for 800 years erupting again The seamount is the most active submarine volcano in the northeast Pacific, and researchers have been monitoring it for the last 30 years, during which it has erupted three times, Chadwick said. "It seems to have this pretty repeatable pattern from one eruption to the next," Chadwick said.

One Of the Most Active Volcanoes In the World Is About to Blow
The Pacific Ocean’s ‘Ring of Fire’ is the most volcanically active area of our planet. Part of that ring (though, it’s really more a horseshoe) bisects the Pacific Northwest via the Cascade Range, and it’s here that one of the most active volcanoes of the world can be found. The honor goes to the Axial Seamount—an underwater peak located some 300 miles off Oregon’s coast—and scientists think it will erupt before the year is out. Some volcanoes in the cascades can go centuries (or even millennia) without erupting, but the Axial Seamount’s frequency can be measured in just years. In fact, the volcano is so active that it has become the site of the world’s first underwater volcano observatory—the New Millennium Observatory (NEMO), which monitors ongoing changes at the summit’s caldera. While being meticulously monitored since 1997, the volcano has undergone an eruption in 1998, 2011, and 2015, and it appears 2025 will soon be added to the list.
The odds of alien life just increased, NASA says after discovering DNA ingredients on an asteroid
NASA probed an asteroid and found an ancient repository of ingredients for life. The findings, published in two papers in the journals Nature and Nature Astronomy on Wednesday, point to a missing link in the origins of life on Earth, but also possibly elsewhere. "The findings do not show evidence of life itself, but they do suggest that the conditions necessary for the emergence of life were likely widespread across the early solar system," Nicky Fox, the associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, said in a briefing on Wednesday. "So this, of course, increases the odds that life could have formed on other planets," she said.
