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).
NASA's Juno mission spots most powerful volcanic activity on Jupiter's moon Io
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- Scientists with NASA's Juno mission have discovered a volcanic hot spot in the southern hemisphere of Jupiter's moon Io, NASA said on Thursday. The hot spot is not only larger than Earth's Lake Superior, but it also belches out eruptions six times the total energy of all the world's power plants, according to NASA.
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.
