A new study points to why, and how, Io became the most volcanic body in the solar system. Scientists with NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter have discovered that the volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon Io are each likely powered by their own chamber of roiling hot magma rather than an ocean of magma.

NASA's Juno spacecraft captures stunning images of Io's volcanic surface, revealing fresh lava flows and sulfur dioxide gas emissions.

Io, discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610, is the most volcanic body in our solar system. NASA's Juno spacecraft continues to explore Jupiter and its moons to reveal important information.
