| Scientists to Jupiter's moon Io: Your volcanoes are in the wrong place Posted: 04 Apr 2013 02:02 PM PDT Jupiter's moon Io is the most volcanically active world in the Solar System, with hundreds of volcanoes, some erupting lava fountains up to 250 miles high. However, concentrations of volcanic activity are significantly displaced from where they are expected to be based on models that predict how the moon's interior is heated, according to researchers. |
