Io's Surface: Under Construction Credit:
Io, one of Jupiter's moons, is the most volcanically active body in our Solar System. Its surface is constantly being reshaped by lava flows. This image, from NASA's Galileo spacecraft in 1996, shows Io's bizarre landscape, centered on the side that always faces away from Jupiter.
