The encounter over one of Io's poles allowed Voyager 1 to directly sample the edge of the Io flux tube, finding an intense electric current of 5 × 10 6 amperes. [51] The color data from Voyager's cameras showed that Ionian surface was dominated by sulfur and sulfur dioxide (SO 2) frosts. [52]
Io (/ ˈ aɪ. oʊ /), or Jupiter I, is the innermost and second-smallest of the four Galilean moons of the planet Jupiter.Slightly larger than Earth's moon, Io is the fourth-largest moon in the Solar System, has the highest density of any moon, the strongest surface gravity of any moon, and the lowest amount of water by atomic ratio of any known astronomical object in the Solar System.
Volcanism on Io, a moon of Jupiter, is represented by the presence of volcanoes, volcanic pits and lava flows on the surface. Io's volcanic activity was discovered in 1979 by Linda Morabito, an imaging scientist working on Voyager 1. [1] Observations of Io by passing spacecraft and Earth-based astronomers have revealed more than 150 active ...

TOKYO (Reuters) -Kairos, a small, solid-fuel rocket made by Japan's Space One, exploded shortly after its inaugural launch on Wednesday as the firm tried to become the first Japanese company to ...
It was the first time active volcanoes had been seen on another body in the Solar System. It appears that activity on Io affects the entire Jovian system. Io appears to be the primary source of matter that pervades the Jovian magnetosphere – the region of space that surrounds the planet influenced by the planet's strong magnetic field.
The Social Security Fairness Act, one of the most bipartisan bills in Congress this session, aims to repeal WEP and GPO. The House voted to pass the legislation Nov. 12.
Due to its thinness, Io's atmosphere does not cause that much effect on the surface, other than moving SO 2 ice around and expanding the size of plume deposit rings when plume material re-enters the denser dayside atmosphere. Every second, almost one tonne of gases escape from Io's atmosphere into outer space due to Jupiter's magnetosphere.
