Such changes in Io's surface are known in the planetary science community to be associated with hot spots and volcanic activity. An eruption of this magnitude is likely to leave long-lived signatures.

Io’s volcanism — probably present over the moon’s entire 4.6-billion-year existence — was discovered when the Voyager spacecraft flew by in 1979. The volcanic activity is caused by the ...

Using data collected by NASA's Juno spacecraft as it flew past Jupiter's highly volcanic moon Io in late 2023 and again in early 2024, a Southwest Research Institute-led team identified electrons ...

The Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano in south-central Indonesia erupted three times into Friday, sending an ash column 26,200 feet high and prompting authorities to expand the danger zone around ...

Scientists believe Io’s volcanic activity mirrors conditions on early Earth and exoplanets with extreme geothermal activity. Insights from this event could expand our knowledge of planetary ...

Experts have determined that the seismic activity is caused by fault movement, rather than... NASA’s Juno spacecraft has recorded the most powerful volcanic eruption on Io, Jupiter’s most ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has recorded the most powerful volcanic eruption on Io, Jupiter’s most volcanic moon. The eruption site, detected on 27 December 2024, is fueled by a massive magma ...
