The Large Binocular Telescope on Mount Graham, Arizona has taken the highest resolution image ever from Earth of Io, the most volcanic world in the solar system. About the same diameter as Earth ...

Io's hyperactive nature is emphasized by the fact that two other volcanic plumes are also visible off the edge of Io's disk: Masubi at the 7 o'clock position, and a very faint plume, possibly from ...

Furthermore, it creates pressure that allows liquid water to pool on the surface. The plumes seen here along Io's surface are ...

This artist’s concept depicts a potential volcanic moon between the exoplanet WASP-49 b, left, and its parent star. New evidence indicating that a massive sodium cloud observed near WASP-49 b is ...

Researchers have discovered a new "fiery, glowing red" exoplanet displaying intense volcanic activity similar to Jupiter's moon Io. Further, the many active volcanoes on the exoplanet could be ...
