With data from its camera during two flybys, Juno captured an aerial view of Loki Patera, the biggest lava lake ever seen. It’s roughly 200 km (125 miles) wide, and its surface looks smooth and shiny, ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured one of the most stunning discoveries during its flybys of Jupiter’s moon Io, which is a massive lava lake called Loki Patera, estimated to be around 200 ...

Using collected data from the camera aboard the spacecraft, during two flybys, the JunoCam captured an aerial view of Loki Patera, the largest lava lake ever seen. The lake is approximately 200 ...

The volcanic feature, which has yet to be named, spans a colossal 40,000 square miles – dwarfing Io's previous record holder, a lava lake named Loki Patera that measured about 7,700 square miles ...

This makes the chamber the largest volcanic feature on Io, surpassing Loki Patera — a giant lake of lava covering an area of around 8,000 square miles (21,000 square km) in Io's northern hemisphere.

There are over 400 volcanos on Io, the largest for a long while has been Loki Patera, a lava lake of 20,000 square kilometers (7,000 square miles).

The previous record holder was Io's Loki Patera, a lava lake of about 7,700 square miles (20,000 square kilometers). The total power value of the new hot spot's radiance measured well above 80 ...

Along with an incredibly detailed global view of the moon, Juno also captured this closeup of Loki Patera — a 127-mile-long (200 km) lava lake on Io's surface.

Along with an incredibly detailed global view of the moon, Juno also captured this closeup of Loki Patera — a 127-mile-long (200 km) lava lake on Io's surface.

Observations made of Jupiter’s moon Io during the Juno mission’s flybys helped astronomers confirm how and why Io became the most volcanic world in the solar system.

The images are bringing different features on Io into focus like never before, including islands spotted on massive lava lakes, such as one called Loki Patera, which is so large that astronomers ...
