Io, one of Jupiter’s Jovian moons, is the most volcanic place in our entire Solar System. Over the last few years NASA’s Juno ...

The tides that Jupiter raises on Io, however are powerful enough to induce sufficient friction in that moon's rocks, melting and volcanoes can result. A similar phenomenon produces ice volcanoes ...

An image of Jupiter's moon Io, captured during the Juno spacecraft's 57th flyby of Jupiter, in December 2023, captured an amazing look at Loki Patera, an immense volcanic lake in the moon's ...

Io is by far the most volcanic place in the solar system. Every day, hundreds of volcanoes on Io are actively erupting with one shooting lava more than 100 miles above the surface.

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 ...
