Tropical disturbance being watched even after hurricane season ends
Mother Nature apparently didn’t get the memo that the official hurricane season ended Nov. 30. The FOX Forecast Center is monitoring a tropical disturbance in the Atlantic that has a medium chance of development within the next 5 days. If it gains enough strength, it would take the next name on the list – Owen.

Mauna Loa eruption continues in Hawaii
The world’s largest active volcano is still rumbling more than a week after it started erupting. Mauna Loa was quiet for nearly 40 years before lava started spewing from it Nov. 27. Since then, lava has been inching toward a major highway on the Big Island of Hawaii. Officials have also been warning people hoping to get a glimpse of the molten rock to stay inside the designated safe area to view the volcano.

Footage captured by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) shows lava spurting from the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii moving closer to Daniel K Inouye Highway on Sunday, December 4.
Orion offers spectacular views of moon before heading home
Orion, the spacecraft NASA wants to use to return astronauts to the moon, took one final pass of our celestial neighbor before aiming for home. Cameras on the ship showed a stunning view of Earth rising above the horizon before the engines were fired to send the craft on a trajectory for a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on Dec. 11.
