Discovered by Galileo in 1610, Io has since become one of the most fascinating objects in planetary science. Orbiting just 350,000 km above Jupiter, Io experiences gravitational forces 300% ...

New data from the orbiter has unveiled some of the treacherous conditions of not only Jupiter, but its moon Io, the most volcanic body in the solar system. The findings, which come after Juno has ...

But now, it appears that Io’s hell has vanished — or rather, it was never there to begin with. During recent flybys of the volcanic moon by NASA’s Juno spacecraft, scientists measured Io’s ...

On March 8, 1979, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft discovered active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io. Before Voyager 1 flew by Io, scientists believed the moon to be a dead world much like Earth's moon ...

The hellish surface of a moon of Jupiter known as Io is riddled with hundreds of lava-spewing volcanoes that make the world one of chaos and violence. The brutal conditions also make Io intriguing ...

Jupiter moon of Io is famed for its volcanoes. NASA just spotted the most powerful one yet Not only was the hot spot larger than Earth’s Lake Superior, but it also was seen belching out ...

As demonstrated by explosive news from NASA on Tuesday: Io’s southern hemisphere contains a hotspot of volcanic activity so massive, it is larger than Lake Superior.

Hidden Planet Scientists are starting to learn why this moon keeps erupting with volcanoes Hundreds of volcanoes and lava lakes on Jupiter’s moon Io are likely powered in the same way as Earth ...

The volcanic world Io has been a hot topic lately. Earlier this year, NASA’s Juno mission swooped close to the moon and snagged close-up views of some of its volcanic activity. However, the ...

Combining a new imaging instrument with the powerful adaptive optics capabilities of the Large Binocular Telescope, astronomers have captured a volcanic event on Jupiter's moon Io at a resolution ...

New research confirms Jupiter's moon Io has been a volcanic hellscape for almost the Solar System’s entire 4.57 billion-year history.
