NASA's Juno mission has revealed that each of Io's volcanoes is likely fueled by its own magma chamber, not a global magma ocean. This conclusion was drawn from precise gravity measurements during ...
As many as 400 volcanoes are erupting on the surface of Jupiter's innermost moon Io, with virtually every square inch of the moon covered in lava plains. The erupting lava (molten rock that ...
Jupiter’s massive gravitational influence squeezes ... Together, the observations point to a rigid, mostly solid interior beneath Io’s surface, rather than a global magma ocean — solving ...
