GPT-4: A powerful underwater volcanic eruption in Tonga generated plasma bubbles that disrupted radio communications in outer space. The eruption disturbed the ionosphere, creating equatorial plasma bubbles that extended much farther than predicted by standard models. The findings may help scientists forecast plasma bubbles associated with volcanic eruptions and other events on Earth’s surface, potentially alerting operators of airplanes and ships. The research could also aid in understanding the atmospheric effects of volcanoes on distant worlds, such as Venus.
