Io Moon News

Jupiter pulls so hard on Io that the moon’s solid ground rises and falls by as much as 100 metres every orbit — a tide in rock the height of a 30-storey building, and the repeated flexing powers the most volcanically active world in the Solar System - spacedaily.com

NASA’s Juno found Io’s temperature rising by more than 40 degrees Fahrenheit within the upper few metres everywhere it sampled—not merely at the volcanic hotspots visible from space. The heat may be flowing broadly through the crust or escaping from yo - spacedaily.com

A moon does not need sunlight to keep its interior warm. Io is ablaze with volcanoes, Europa hides an ocean, and Enceladus leaks heat and water from its south pole into space — worlds kept active by the gravitational grip of planets that never lets go. - spacedaily.com
