A Continuous Eruption on Jupiter's Moon Io
Io, Jupiter's moon, is a world of constant change. This image, taken by the Galileo spacecraft in February 2000, captures an ongoing volcanic eruption. Hot, glowing lava is visible, surrounded by a landscape of sulfur and silicate rock. Many features, including dark spots, evolved significantly in just a few months.
