Io, Jupiter and NASA

Jupiter moon of Io is famed for its volcanoes. NASA just spotted the most powerful one yet
NASA officials said what Juno spotted was 'the most powerful volcanic event ever recorded on the most volcanic world in our solar system.'
Jupiter's 'tormented moon' Io just unleashed the most powerful volcanic event ever seen
NASA's Juno spacecraft has discovered a giant volcanic hot spot on the surface of Jupiter's hellish moon Io. The eruptions in this area are chucking out six times the energy being produced by all Earth's power stations,
NASA's Juno spacecraft watches most powerful volcanic event ever seen on Jupiter's moon Io
"This is the most powerful volcanic event ever recorded on the most volcanic world in our solar system — so that's really saying something."
NASA's Juno Detects Io's Most Powerful Volcanic Eruption Yet
A new volcanic hotspot on Jupiter’s moon Io has been detected, releasing six times Earth’s total energy output.
NASA's Juno spacecraft detects most intense volcanic eruption ever on Io
The eruption released energy six times greater than all Earth's power plants combined, exceeding 80,000 trillion watts.
Volcanic eruption on Jupiter's moon Io released 6x more energy than all power plants on Earth
NASA’s Juno mission found Io’s biggest volcanic eruption ever. The explosion was stronger than all Earth’s power plants combined.
Volcanoes on a moon of Jupiter erupted larger than Lake Superior
The acid yellow moon Io that orbits Jupiter may be less than 30% the size of Earth, but is considered the most volcanic body in our solar system. As demonstrated by explosive news from NASA on Tuesday: Io’s southern hemisphere contains a hotspot of volcanic activity so massive, it is larger than Lake Superior.
Video: A look at NASA's new images of Io, Jupiter's 'tortured moon'
Immense energy from frictional heating on Io melts portions of its interior, resulting in a seemingly endless series of lava plumes and ash venting into the atmosphere from the estimated 400 volcanoes that riddle its surface.
NASA’s Juno Uncovers Io’s 80 Trillion Watt Volcanic Monster That Shatters Records
NASA’s Juno spacecraft has uncovered an immense volcanic hot spot on Jupiter’s moon Io, surpassing any previously recorded eruptions in the solar system. This fiery inferno, detected by the JIRAM instrument,
NASA Captures 'Most Intense Volcanic Eruption Ever' on Jupiter's Moon Io
Loki Patera is 202 kilometres (126 mi) in diameter, covers 20,000 sq km (7,700 sq mi), and was the largest volcanic feature found on Io until these new observations revealed the hot spot in the south polar region. The new hot spot covers 100,000 sq km (40,000 sq mi).
NASA's Juno probe discovers powerful volcanic activity on Jupiter’s moon Io
NASAs Juno probe has discovered a massive volcanic hot spot on Jupiters moon Io. The hot spot emits 80 trillion watts of energy — six times the total output of Earth's power plants. This marks the most powerful volcanic event ever recorded on Io.
