Jupiter’s volcanic moon, Io, is exhibiting geothermal activity far beyond what scientists had anticipated, with heat levels ...

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," and the space agency released new images of the flyby. The ...

Unlike any other moon, Io is locked in a gravitational tug-of-war between Jupiter and its neighboring moons, stretching and ...

NASA's Juno spacecraft has made a second flyby of Jupiter's moon Io, capturing the solar system's most volcanic body in stunning detail. The spacecraft also allowed operators to glimpse a side of Io ...

Trapped in a gravitational push and pull between Jupiter and other Jovian moons, Io is constantly being stretched and compressed. Heat generated by these contortions has melted pockets of the moon's ...

A study utilizing ALMA observations of Io's atmosphere reveals a significant depletion of lighter sulfur isotopes, suggesting extensive and prolonged volcanic activity throughout its 4.57 billion-year ...

Jupiter's super-volcanic moon boasts grand, meandering dunes created not by wind but by lava flows beneath the moon's surface, a new study shows. Io is Jupiter's third-largest moon and the innermost ...

Jupiter’s moon Io has possibly been erupting for a very, very, very long time. Io is the most volcanically active body in our solar system, with some of its volcanoes shooting magma higher than planes ...

The last time a spacecraft got this close to Jupiter's moon Io was more than 20 years ago, a blink of an eye on a typical geological timescale. Most planetary bodies in our Solar System wouldn't ...

Recent strange activity around Jupiter’s volcanic moon, Io, confused and excited scientists. By Oliver Whang Io, the third largest of Jupiter’s moons, is caught in a pressurized, explosive dance.
