Io, Juno and NASA

NASA's Juno spacecraft watches most powerful volcanic event ever seen on Jupiter's moon Io
NASA's Juno spacecraft has spotted the most powerful volcanic eruption ever seen on the solar system's most volcanic body, the Jovian moon Io.
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.
Juno Probe Spots Largest Known Volcanic Event on Io
Since completing its primary science objectives in orbit of Jupiter, Juno has been conducting flybys of the Jovian moons Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The spacecraft completed two very close flybys in 2023 and 2024,
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).
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 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.
NASA detects an unprecedented volcanic eruption in the solar system: "It left us speechless"
