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 long-debated magma ocean may not exist. Juno spacecraft data reveals that tidal forces deform the moon differently than ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft identifies over 40 enormous lava lakes on Io, shedding light on the extreme volcanism sculpting Jupiter’s moon.

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 ...

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs. NASA’s Juno spacecraft has completed yet another flyby of Io, Jupiter’s highly ...

The Alaska Volcano Observatory says that if the snowcapped volcano erupts, the impacts could include damage to aircraft from ash.

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 ...

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 ...

Fresh magma has intruded into the Earth’s crust underneath Alaska’s Mount Spurr, 75 miles west of Anchorage, increasing the likelihood of an eruption within the near future, government ...

Our new findings suggest a strong linkage to hydrothermal nutrient recycling, meaning that early life may in part have been fuelled by volcanic activity." Professor Axel Hofmann from the ...
