If there's no magma ocean, where does the 'melt' come from that emerges from the volcanoes as lava? Jupiter's volcanic moon Io doesn't appear to have a subsurface ocean of magma, resolving some ...

The Moon is far older than we once believed — but its fiery past has kept its true age hidden. New research reveals that, a ...

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 ...

A new study points to why, and how, Io became the most volcanic body in the solar system. Scientists with NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter have discovered that the volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io are ...

From a death swirl into Jupiter to "Ghost Riders in the Sky," here are some of the most exciting space missions coming in ...

NASA's Juno mission has made an exciting discovery about Io, one of Jupiter’s moons known for its incredible volcanic activity. Researchers have found that Io’s volcanoes are not connected to ...

NASA's Juno mission revealed that Jupiter's moon, Io, the most volcanic body in our solar system, doesn't possess a global magma ocean. Instead, separate magma chambers fuel its over 400 active ...

In 1979, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) scientist Linda Morabito discovered volcanic activity on Jupiter’s innermost moon, Io. But Io isn’t just volcanically active—it is the most ...
