Linking analyses of the moon's gravity field with models of its earliest evolution, scientists tell a story of the moon turning itself inside out after it solidified from a primordial magma ocean.
A new study found the constant presence of sulfur and chlorine isotopes in the atmosphere of Jupiter’s moon–Io. This revealed persistent volcanic activity on the moon for the entirety of the ...
Sulfur and chlorine isotopes in the atmosphere of Jupiter’s moon Io indicate that it has been volcanically active for the entire 4.57 billion-year history of the Solar System, according to a new ...
Io, as seen by JunoCam on NASA’s Juno spacecraft on April 9, 2024. Image processing by Ted Stryk. NASA’s Juno has done it again. In the wake of its 60th orbit of Jupiter, the school bus-sized ...
The solar system's most volcanic body, the moon of Jupiter Io, has been in turmoil for at least 4.57 billion years, right back to its birth and the infancy of the sun. Those are the findings of a ...

Gif: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS Two recent flybys of Jupiter’s moon Io by NASA’s Juno spacecraft revealed a couple of stunning surprises: a remarkably steep mountain and islands in the middle ...
Jupiter’s moon Io has been continuously remodelled by volcanic eruptions for billions of years, possibly since it first formed. Io is the most volcanically active body in the solar system ...
And then there’s Jupiter’s moon, Io. Io is the most volcanic object known to science. A rust-hued orb, its rocky seas of lava are larger than cities and its eruption plumes arc across the sky ...
Jupiter’s moon Io has been continuously shaped by volcanic activity for billions of years — possibly even for the Solar System’s entire 4.57-billion-year history, a study suggests.
