NASA’s Juno Mission has revealed that Jupiter’s moon Io, the solar system's most volcanic body, lacks a global magma ocean. Instead, its volcanoes are powered by individual magma chambers, solving a ...
NASA's Juno mission has revealed that each of Io's volcanoes is likely fueled by its own magma chamber, not a global magma ocean. This conclusion was drawn from precise gravity measurements during ...
For 44 years, it was a mystery as to how Jupiter’s most violent moon, Io, became so volcanically active. It […] ...
With a little familiarization and preparation your new telescope can open a world of exploration rather than end up in the back of a closet.
With their eyes fixed on the sky, the ancient Greeks formed constellations through noticing shapes in the stars.
Among its discoveries, Juno has found previously unseen huge storms swirling around Jupiter's poles and active volcanoes and lakes of lava on the planet's moon, Io. However, the US space agency has ...
Io’s surface is characterized by unparalleled volcanic activity. It is estimated that there are up to 400 active volcanoes erupting simultaneously. Jupiter’s gravitational force varies ...
New research suggests volcanic activity reshaped the Moon's geology, resetting its apparent age to 4.35 billion years.
A physicist, a chemist and a mathematician walk into a bar. It sounds like the start of a bad joke, but in my case, it was ...
The instability would cause it to experience tidal forces from the Earth. There are parallels between this event and current volcanic activity on Jupiter’s moon Io, which is driven by similar tidal ...
A new study published on December 18 in Nature offers a way to explain that 150-million-year gap. Computer modeling and ...
