This is a seismograph station record from the Norris Museum in Yellowstone, Wyoming. The slight increase in noise in the middle of the graph (click once or twice on the image to zoom in) is a major eruption of Steamboat Geyser. The eruption started at 11:32 PM on 28 February 2020.

Steamboat is the world's tallest geyser. Its eruptions are normally unpredictable - it can go years or even decades without erupting. Steamboat entered an exciting active phase in spring 2018. It had 80 major eruptions from then to the end of 2019. This is the 6th eruption of 2020 and the 86th eruption of the series. Intervals (= eruption start to eruption start) for January and February 2020 have been 13.9 days, 13.9 days, 9.1 days, 10.8 days, 8.3 days, and 7.9 days.

Note: the noise in the lower left portion of the chart is a 3.9 magnitude earthquake that struck at 6:06 AM near Cliff Lake in southwestern Montana.
