Watch raw video footage of Mt. Etna's Tuesday night eruption over the Italian island of Sicily.

According to Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, Etna's getting even more explosive, occasionally interrupting air traffic in the area.

When Mt. Etna erupted last month, NASA's shutterbug astronaut Chris Hadfield captured the beautiful geologic event from space.
