NASA's robotic Juno spacecraft is delivering the fresh data on Io with a series of flybys, each getting closer to Jupiter's volcanic moon until a pair of close-up encounters at a range of less ...

Jupiter’s third-largest moon Io is the most volcanically active world in our solar system. New radio images by the ALMA telescope array show the direct effect of this volcanic activity on the ...

Jupiter sets record after 12 new moons discovered 00:14. A NASA spacecraft made its closest-ever approach to Jupiter's moon Io, coming within 930 miles of the "surface of the most volcanic world ...

The volcano-laced surface of Jupiter’s moon Io was captured in infrared by the Juno spacecraft’s Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) imager as it flew by at a distance of about 50,000 miles ...

Jupiter’s moon Io may have been volcanically active throughout its life. In this image of Io, taken by NASA’s Juno spacecraft in 2023, a bright volcanic plume can be seen on the left, just ...

Jupiter's volcanic moon Io doesn't appear to have a subsurface ocean of magma, resolving some issues about how Io's volcanoes erupt and raising broader questions about similar magma oceans within ...

What can a sample return mission from Jupiter's volcanic moon, Io, teach scientists about planetary and satellite (moon) formation and evolution? This is what a recent study presented at the 56th ...

The study, published in Science, indicates that for most of — or possibly all — its 4.57 billion years of existence, Io has been an angry world. As Jupiter’s innermost large moon, it is ...

The latest candidate for hosting nearby life is Jupiter’s moon, Io. Let’s take a look at what makes Io special, and what we might hope to find there. The Pizza Moon.

Io, the third-largest of Jupiter's many satellites, is just a touch bigger than Earth's moon. It orbits about as close to Jupiter, on average, as our moon does to Earth. This proximity and Jupiter ...

Jupiter might be the largest, most eye-catching planet in our Solar System, but the planet itself isn’t the only interesting thing in its neighborhood. Jupiter’s … ...
