The volcanic feature, which has yet to be named, spans a colossal 40,000 square miles – dwarfing Io's previous record holder, a lava lake named Loki Patera that measured about 7,700 square miles ...
NASA's Juno spacecraft has made several close swoops by Jupiter's volcanic moon Io, and it's beamed back stunning views of this distant volcanic land. The recent flybys in late 2023 and early 2024 ...
NASA has used a tool that was never meant to be used to study other cosmic bodies, but the space agency used it to see 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 ...
NASA's Juno spacecraft has spotted the most powerful volcanic eruption ever seen on the solar system's most volcanic body, the Jovian moon Io.
The images of the new volcano were taken by NASA's Juno spacecraft and its JunoCam as it made a flyby of Io — the solar system's most volcanic body — on Feb. 3 this year.
NASA's Juno spacecraft detected the most intense volcanic eruption ever recorded on Jupiter's moon Io. During a flyby on December 27, 2024, Juno was approximately 74,400 kilometers from Io's ...
Using its JIRAM infrared instrument, NASA's Juno spacecraft has imaged lava lakes across the surface of Jupiter's moon Io. The images give researchers insight into Io's volcanic activity.
As Io is squeezed and stretched by Jupiter's gravity, its solid rocky surface has been turned into the most volcanically active place in our solar system. According to NASA, hundreds of active ...
