“Io Rotating” is copyrighted by Calvin J. Hamilton, Voyager Team, Galileo Team, NASA. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteIo, one of Jupiter's moons, has a surface that constantly changes due to its many powerful volcanoes. This time-lapse sequence, a composite of images from the Voyager and Galileo missions, shows Io during a complete rotation. Io always presents the same face to Jupiter, so one rotation is also one revolution around the giant planet. Its rampant volcanism is effectively turning the moon inside out.
