Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull volcano began erupting again earlier this week. This image, captured May 6 by the European Space Agency’s Envisat satellite,

The eruption is the latest in a string that began March 20 and that grounded flights in many parts of Europe for a week. How big a problem the ash clouds become depends not just on the size of the eruption,

Planes can’t fly through ash-heavy airspace because there is a danger that the silicates in the plume will turn into glass inside the jet engines.
