The eruption released energy six times greater than all Earth's power plants combined, exceeding 80,000 trillion watts.

NASA's Juno spacecraft has spotted the most powerful volcanic eruption ever seen on the solar system's most volcanic body, ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has uncovered an immense volcanic hot spot on Jupiter’s moon Io, surpassing any previously recorded ...

NASA’s Juno mission found Io’s biggest volcanic eruption ever. The explosion was stronger than all Earth’s power plants ...

The acid yellow moon Io that orbits Jupiter may be less than 30% the size of Earth, but is considered the most volcanic body ...

Jupiter’s moon Io is the most volcanically active world in the Solar System. The gravitational tug-of-war between Jupiter and its other large moons squeezes Io so that its interior is molten.

Loki Patera is 202 kilometres (126 mi) in diameter, covers 20,000 sq km (7,700 sq mi), and was the largest volcanic feature found on Io until these new observations revealed the hot spot in the south ...

Jupiter moon Io, imaged by SHARK-VIS on Jan. 10 ... The frictional heat buildup in its interior causes constant and widespread volcanic activity. Scientists think there’s an ocean of magma ...

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs. NASA’s Juno spacecraft has completed its first ultra-close flyby of the hellish moon Io.

This squashes and squeezes Io, causing friction-related heating in the moon's interior. As a result, molten lava erupts onto the surface of Io via the 400 or so volcanoes that the moon is covered ...
