Underwater volcano off Oregon coast likely won't erupt until mid-to-late 2026

The Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano off the Oregon coast, is now expected to erupt later than previously anticipated, with predictions shifting to mid-to-late 2026. This change highlights the complexities of volcanic activity and the importance of ongoing research in understanding geological phenomena. In a broader context, the study of celestial bodies, such as the Milky Way, also emphasizes the significance of extensive data collection in revealing patterns of birth and death in stars, paralleling the need for detailed monitoring of volcanic activity to predict eruptions accurately.
