On August 24, in the year 79 CE, the sky in Pompeii, Italy, grew dark and ominous. An orange glow illuminated the blackened sky.

When the city’s residents heard the first of what would be a terrifying series of earth-shaking rumbles, they looked to Mount Vesuvius, six kilometers in the distance. A pillar of gray ash was pouring from the volcano’s gaping mouth.
