NASA solves 44-year-old mystery of why Jupiter's Io is so volcanically active
NASA scientists have revealed the secrets of the most volcanic body in our solar system, according to new research. The discovery solves a 44-year-old mystery of why, and how, Jupiter's violent moon,
NASA's Juno Probe Unravels the Source of Io's Volcanic Activity
Tidal flexing is behind Io's near-constant volcanic eruptions, NASA reports.
NASA’s Juno mission uncovers heart of Jovian moon’s volcanic rage
Scientists with NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter have discovered that the volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon Io are each likely powered by their own chamber of roiling hot magma rather than an ocean of magma. The finding solves a 44-year-old mystery about the subsurface origins of the moon’s most demonstrative geologic features.
What causes volcanic eruptions on Jupiter's moon Io? Scientists aren't so sure anymore
As many as 400 volcanoes are erupting on the surface of Jupiter's innermost moon Io, with virtually every square inch of the moon covered in lava plains. The erupting lava (molten rock that reaches the surface) comes from areas of 'melt' within the mantle, which are rising pockets of magma (molten rock that's still underground).
