Jupiter, io and NASA

Volcanic eruption on Jupiter's moon Io covers area larger than Lake Superior
NASA’s Juno mission found Io’s biggest volcanic eruption ever. The explosion was stronger than all Earth’s power plants combined.
NASA Captures 'Most Intense Volcanic Eruption Ever' on Jupiter's Moon Io
Loki Patera is 202 kilometres (126 mi) in diameter, covers 20,000 sq km (7,700 sq mi), and was the largest volcanic feature found on Io until these new observations revealed the hot spot in the south polar region. The new hot spot covers 100,000 sq km (40,000 sq mi).

Record-Breaking Volcanic Event As Big As Kentucky Seen On Jupiter's Moon Io
Jupiter’s moon Io is the most volcanically active world in the Solar System. The gravitational tug-of-war between Jupiter and its other large moons squeezes Io so that its interior is molten. That magma finds its way to the surface in lava lakes and volcanic eruptions.
NASA's Juno probe discovers powerful volcanic activity on Jupiter’s moon Io
NASA’s Juno probe has discovered a massive volcanic hot spot on Jupiter’s moon Io. The hot spot emits 80 trillion watts of energy — six times the total output of Earth's power plants. This marks the most powerful volcanic event ever recorded on Io.
Jupiter’s Moon Just Had the Biggest Volcanic Eruption Ever!
Io, Jupiter’s fiery moon, just erupted with enough energy to power Earth six times over! NASA’s Juno mission captured this mind-blowing event, revealing a hidden world beneath the surface. What does this mean for space exploration?
NASA’s Juno Mission Detects Most Powerful Volcanic Eruption Ever Seen on Io
NASA’s Juno mission has captured the most powerful volcanic eruption ever recorded on Io, Jupiter’s highly active moon. Even by Io’s extreme standards—where more than 400 volcanoes constantly reshape its surface—the latest event stands out as an unparalleled display of cosmic firepower.
NASA spacecraft flew by distant world. It saw unprecedented volcanism.
On Dec. 27, 2024, NASA's Juno spacecraft swooped by the volcanic world Io. It witnessed a giant eruption.
