But now, it appears that Io’s hell has vanished—or rather, it was never there to begin with. During recent flybys of the volcanic moon by NASA’s Juno spacecraft, scientists measured Io’s ...

The newest analysis has revealed that this difference is not skin-deep, but profound. The Moon’s interior on the nearside is different from that on the far side.

Although the moon and the asteroid Vesta are very different, two NASA studies use the same technique to reveal new details about the interiors of both. In the lunar study, published in the journal ...

Our moon was once a ball of lava much like Jupiter's super-volcanic moon Io In the early solar system, a massive impact shaped both Earth and the moon. A protoplanet smashed into our young planet ...

Moon rocks, on the other hand, can be more complicated to interpret, and have been providing a variety of ages. Together, the two processes suggest the moon is about 4.35 billion years old.

One of the big surprises: Despite the moon's cooled crust, the data shows Io maintains liquid hot lava just below the ground. In fact, about 10 percent of the surface has lava underneath it.

Whereas Io is the poster child for this mechanism, tidal heating also heats many other worlds, including Io’s neighbor, the icy moon Europa, where the heat is thought to sustain a subterranean ...

The acid yellow moon Io that orbits Jupiter may be less than 30% the size of Earth, but is considered the most volcanic body in our solar system. As demonstrated by explosive news from NASA on ...

This squashes and squeezes Io, causing friction-related heating in the moon's interior. As a result, molten lava erupts onto the surface of Io via the 400 or so volcanoes that the moon is covered ...
