Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay NASA has released stunning new artist impressions of an extremely reflective lava lake on the surface of Jupiter's moon Io. While the generated clip, released by the space agency's Jet Propulsion Lab last week,

NASA’s Juno spacecraft recently spotted a glassy-smooth lava lake amid the volcanic hellscape of Jupiter’s moon Io.

NASA's Juno spacecraft came within 1,500 km (930 miles) of the surface of Jupiter's moon Io in two recent flybys. That's close enough to reveal new details on the surface of this moon, the most volcanic object in the solar system.

NASA confirmed that a chunk of debris that crashed into a Florida home came from a battery pallet ejected from the ISS, and archaeologists found evidence that humans used a lava tube as a shelter over thousands of years.

Io has long been known to be volcanically active, but new research suggests that Jupiter's moon has been spewing lava since the dawn of the solar system, some 4.57 billion years a

Flybys of Jupiter’s moon Io, the only known volcanic world in our solar system, have captured images of a massive lava lake and a towering Matterhorn-like mountain.
