Factbox: Previous volcanic eruptions in New Zealand
(Reuters) - At least five people were killed, up to 20 injured and several were reported missing after a volcano suddenly erupted off the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island on Monday, spewing a plume of ash thousands of feet into the air.

9 Dec 13:04 • Jersey Evening Post • 6141642773910292294.htmlWhite Island: Tourist hotspot and New Zealand’s most active volcano
New Zealand's most continuously active volcano White Island has erupted, killing five people and leaving many more unaccounted for. Police said "no sign of life" could be seen on the island following the tourist attraction's latest eruption, so the death toll is likely to rise. The eruption sent huge plumes of smoke and ash into the air when it erupted on Monday afternoon. The threat level was raised last month following an increase in activity - meaning eruptions are more likely than normal and can happen with little or no warning. White Island last erupted three years ago.

Earlier this year, marine conservationist Ocean Ramsey of One Ocean Diving was diving off the coast of the Hawaiian island of Oahu when the group came across one of the largest great white sharks ever caught on camera. The encounter can be seen in the 3.5-minute video above. The team estimates that the shark was roughly 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. While the average female great white measures 15 to 16 feet, they can reach up to 20 feet (6.1m) and 4,200 pounds (1,900kg).

Stargazing: Is it the time again for a meteoroid to hit Earth?
According to NASA’s Asteroid Fast Facts page, a lot of space material lands on Earth every year. From the NASA page: “Every day, Earth is bombarded with more than 100 tons of dust and sand-sized particles. “About once a year, an automobile-sized asteroid hits Earth's atmosphere, creates an impressive fireball, and burns up before reaching the surface. Every 2,000 years or so, a meteoroid the size of a football field hits Earth and causes significant damage to the area.” When is the next one coming? No one knows. But NASA and other organizations worldwide constantly watch out for possible impactors from space. Even so, some escape discovery until they hit.
