Over the last several millennia, volcanoes racked up some ill will here on Earth. It's really more of a PR problem, since most of the time volcanoes are in the news it's about towns and cities they're leveling.
So, having said all this: where are the space volcanoes? Here are some scientists have spotted and others that seem to be suspects.
Stellar Contradiction: Solar Systems Like Ours May Be Quite Rare
A significant fraction of planetary systems around Sun-like stars have had a very dynamic past, culminating with the fall of planets into the central star.
The research, published recently in Nature Astronomy and led by Dr.
“Regardless of the technology at our disposal, with millions of nearby Sun-like stars, the search for planets similar to our Earth will always look like the proverbial ‘needle in a haystack’,” said Parth.
Earth is the Solar System's densest planet. It shouldn't be. - Big Think
When solar systems first form, the heaviest elements sink preferentially towards the central protostar, while lighter elements are easily blown away.
But Earth is even denser, owing to a combination of its composition and gravitational compression. Here's why the full story matters.
TRAPPIST-1 & Solar System Comparison – Exoplanet Exploration: Planets Beyond our Solar System
These slides compare the density and illumination of planets in our Solar System with those in the TRAPPIST-1 system.

Speaker: NASA Subject Mater Expert Christopher Willmer
Christopher is an astronomer at Steward Observatory (University of Arizona) who is part of the JWST Near Infrared Camera team since 2007. His professional interest is mapping the distribution of galaxies in space and understanding how these systems evolve over time.
Jupiter's swirling 'Great Red Spot,' the biggest storm in our solar system, is deeper than we
This new Hubble Space Telescope view of Jupiter, taken on June 27, 2019, reveals the giant planet's trademark Great Red Spot, and a more intense color palette in the clouds swirling in Jupiter's turbulent atmosphere than seen in previous years.
Jupiter is not only the largest planet in our solar system, it's also home to the solar system's largest storm, called the "Great Red Spot.
Space rocks keep hitting Jupiter. What's the deal with that? | Space
In September and October, observers spotted two different asteroids slamming into the massive planet just a month apart.
"These fireballs are very rare, they are very difficult to be observed just by chance," Ricardo Hueso, an astronomer at the University of the Basque Country in Spain who has studied these sightings, told Space.com.

The next full Moon will be early on Friday morning, Nov. 19, 2021, appearing opposite the Sun (in Earth-based longitude) at 3:58 a.m. EST.
The Moon will be so close to opposite the Sun on Nov 19 that it will pass through the southern part of the shadow of the Earth for a nearly total lunar eclipse. The partial shadow of the Earth will begin falling on the upper left part of the Moon at 1:02:09 a.m.
A Kenyan family got solar lights. Can high-level climate talks help others, too?
Winifred Muisyo, right, and her 5-year-old daughter, Patience Kativa, watch Stanlas Kisilu, left, as he installs a TV tuner on the roof of her home. The TV is connected to a solar panel provided by d.light, a company partially funded by climate financing from wealthier nations.
At a small house outside of Nairobi, Kenya, a big event took place on a late October afternoon — one that also has big repercussions for climate change. Winifred Mumbua Muisyo got electricity at her home for the first time.
Sonoma County Government: New Sonoma Valley Storage Facility With Solar System, Built Through
The newly built Vineburg Self Storage worked with SolarCraft, a local Sonoma County Contractor, to install a 113.2 kW system that is expected to provide more than 95 percent of their electrical demand.
"Installing solar was an easy decision," said owner Greg Van Cleave. "Not only will we save money by generating our own power, but we can feel good about our contribution to reducing greenhouse gases in the community."
