A volcano on Io

September 3, 2013 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Io, Jupiter’s moon, is one of the most volcanically active worlds in the Solar System. It has hundreds of volcanoes and some eruptions reach some 250 miles high. That’s not 250 metres high – that’s 250 miles high.

In other words, you can see some of Io’s volcanic eruptions from space. You can see them a long way off in space as this incredible picture shows.

The picture was taken during a flyby of Jupiter in 2007, it shows a huge eruption on Io’s night side from a volcano called Tvashtar. This is one of the 250 miles high eruptions we were warned about.
