I'm curious how is this being updated.

Isn't there a volcanic eruption happening Iceland right now? I think that one is already out of date.

Seems like their source hasn't updated this
https://volcano.si.edu/faq/index.cfm?question=eruptionsbyyea...
Any seasoned engineer would hardcode the values at the bottom of the page.
Every section has an information button which says where the data is sourced from.
I think the question may have been more about method of updating.
I know the USGS websites have great API support, and I imagine the NASA solar flare reporting does as well, so I expect most of this is automatic.
The ones going to Wikipedia articles must be done by hand, so those will stop being updated when Neal gets bored of updating.
