The volcanic surface of Jupiter's huge moon Io got a stunning close-up thanks to NASA's Juno mission. A new animation reveals an enormous lava lake on the surface of Jupiter's moon Io. The close ...
Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons, may have ozone, researchers say after successfully simulating its icy surface conditions in a lab 1. Ozone absorbs the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation ...
These resonances expand and contract the surface of Io, which then allows Jupiter’s gravity to heat the interior of the moons, providing the heating needed for Io’s extreme geologic activity.
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 ...

The four biggest moons of Jupiter aren't just blurry smudges in Galileo's telescope anymore. The Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei discovered Ganymede, Callisto, Europa and Io back in 1610 ...
He had come to present research on Europa, a moon of Jupiter that almost certainly harbors a subsurface ocean. The moon is thought to be among the most promising places to explore for life in our ...
