  NASA's Juno Detects Io's Most Powerful Volcanic Eruption Yet

  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 chamber spanning 105,000 square kilometers. The heat energy released is estimated at 80 trillion watts, exceeding Earth’s total power output. The volcanic ac...

  Jupiter’s Moon Io Shows No Magma Ocean as New Findings Explain Volcanic Eruptions

  NASA's latest findings indicate that Jupiter's volcanic moon Io does not have a global magma ocean beneath its surface, debunking previous theories. This conclusion comes from analysis of data from NASA's Juno spacecraft and archival observations from the Galileo mission. The study suggests that Io's interior is more solid than expected, with volca...

  Something Crazy Happens To Jupiter's Moon Io For 2 Hours Every Day

  Not to get too partisan or anything, but Jupiter's moons are probably some of the coolest worlds in the solar system. Two of its largest - Europa and Ganymede - likely contain subsurface oceans, providing tempting spots to go looking for life. But while potentially habitable waters may be especially intriguing to us earthlings, Jupiter's innermost ...
