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 ...
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.
Jupiter moon Io, imaged by SHARK-VIS on Jan ... The frictional heat buildup in its interior causes constant and widespread volcanic activity. Scientists think there’s an ocean of magma under ...
Astronomers studying data from the Juno spacecraft discovered a volcanic hot spot in the Southern Hemisphere of Jupiter’s moon Io. The volcanic region belches out eruptions six times the total energy ...
