Hundreds of volcanoes and lava lakes on Jupiter’s moon Io are likely powered in the same way as Earth’s volcanoes.

Jupiter’s massive gravitational influence ... a 45-year mystery started by Voyager 1’s observations. Instead, the volcanoes are powered by more local sources, and each one has its own pocket ...

One of the world’s most active volcanoes erupted on Monday after a three-month hiatus, spewing bright orange lava as high as ...
