NASA’s Galileo spacecraft caught Jupiter’s moon Io, the planet’s third-largest moon, undergoing a volcanic eruption. NASA/JPL/DLR On March 9, 1979, Linda Morabito discovered a volcanic plume on Io, a ...

Jupiter’s volcanic moon, Io, is exhibiting geothermal activity far beyond what scientists had anticipated, with heat levels ...

A spectacular image taken by NASA’s Juno probe this past weekend shows Jupiter’s moon Io with twin eruptions on the surface, underlining the fact that Io is the most volcanically active place in our ...

Using data from NASA's Juno spacecraft, scientists have discovered that the solar system's most volcanic body is even hotter ...

Jupiter's moon Io stands alone among the solar system's moons. It has more than 400 active volcanoes, and its surface is home ...

NASA's Juno mission obtained a visible-light image of two possible volcanic plumes on Jupiter's moon Io during a February 3rd flyby, at a closest approach of 930 miles (1,500 km). This was Juno's ...

NASA's Juno spacecraft recently whizzed past the moon Io. Every night's a marvelous time for a moon dance at Jupiter. Jupiter's moon Io displays a volcanic surface including large, dark patches of ...

NASA's Juno spacecraft has completed yet another flyby of Io, Jupiter's highly volcanic moon. Coming eerily close to the moon, the small spacecraft was able to capture images of twin volcanic plumes ...

Trapped in a gravitational push and pull between Jupiter and other Jovian moons, Io is constantly being stretched and compressed. Heat generated by these contortions has melted pockets of the moon's ...

Tides flowing in a subsurface ocean of molten rock, or magma, could explain why Jupiter’s moon Io appears to have its volcanoes in the “wrong” place. New NASA research implies that oceans beneath the ...

Jupiter’s moon, Io, is the most volcanically active planetary body in the entire solar system as it boasts hundreds of active volcanoes. This number continues to grow as recent study at the Europlanet ...
