Kilauea has been erupting nearly continuously since 1983. Now it may have stopped

Lava from a Kilauea volcano fissure advances up a residential street in Leilani Estates, Hawaii, on May 27.

Kilauea has produced no lava on the surface of Hawaii's Big Island for three months -- neither at its summit, nor at its other vents, the lead scientist at US Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said Tuesday.
    When volcanoes stop erupting magma for that long, the next eruption generally will happen in a different spot, marking a new eruptive event, said Tina Neal, the observatory's scientist in charge.
