The most active volcanic crater in the solar system, Loki Patera on Jupiter's moon Io, is thought to be a lava lake that periodically brightens because of overturning lava. A UC Berkeley team ...

Interferometric telescope observations of the Jovian moon Io reveal that the floor of the Loki Patera volcano has been resurfaced in two waves, with different starting times and velocities.

Jupiter's moon Io is home to the most active volcano in the solar system, Loki Patera, a 125-mile-wide lava lake. Now, a new study suggests that Loki Patera is getting ready to erupt again.

Loki Patera is the most powerful active volcano in the Solar System. It's an enormous crater with a central island; around that island is a sea of hot material that covers more than 20,000 square ...

Loki Patera's activity cycle is far too lengthy to be tied to Io's orbit around Jupiter, which is supertight; the moon completes one lap every 1.77 Earth days.

Loki Patera isn’t the first lava lake scientists have spotted on Io; previous spacecraft, including Galileo (RIP) have also sent home images of similar features, but Juno’s pics are the ...

As ever, Loki Patera stole the show. Io’s most persistently powerful volcano, Loki Patera is responsible for a staggering 10 percent of the moon’s total heat output.

Loki Patera might sound like the name of a Norse god's heavy metal band, but it is actually a lake made of lava located on one of Jupiter's moons, Io.On Sunday NASA scientists released a new ...

This maps chart the the temperature and lava crust age within Loki Patera, a huge volcanic crater on Jupiter's moon Io. The higher temperatures in the southeast (location 3) indicate that new ...
