Jupiter, io and Volcanic Eruption

Volcanic eruption on Jupiter's moon Io covers area larger than Lake Superior
NASA’s Juno mission found Io’s biggest volcanic eruption ever. The explosion was stronger than all Earth’s power plants combined.
NASA Captures 'Most Intense Volcanic Eruption Ever' on Jupiter's Moon Io
Loki Patera is 202 kilometres (126 mi) in diameter, covers 20,000 sq km (7,700 sq mi), and was the largest volcanic feature found on Io until these new observations revealed the hot spot in the south polar region. The new hot spot covers 100,000 sq km (40,000 sq mi).
Jupiter’s Moon Just Had the Biggest Volcanic Eruption Ever!
Io, Jupiter’s fiery moon, just erupted with enough energy to power Earth six times over! NASA’s Juno mission captured this mind-blowing event, revealing a hidden world beneath the surface. What does this mean for space exploration?
NASA's Juno mission spots most powerful volcanic activity on Jupiter's moon Io
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- Scientists with NASA's Juno mission have discovered a volcanic hot spot in the southern hemisphere of Jupiter's moon Io, NASA said on Thursday. The hot spot is not only larger than Earth's Lake Superior, but it also belches out eruptions six times the total energy of all the world's power plants, according to NASA.

Record-Breaking Volcanic Event As Big As Kentucky Seen On Jupiter's Moon Io
Jupiter’s moon Io is the most volcanically active world in the Solar System. The gravitational tug-of-war between Jupiter and its other large moons squeezes Io so that its interior is molten. That magma finds its way to the surface in lava lakes and volcanic eruptions.
NASA Juno Mission Spots Most Powerful Volcanic Activity on Io to Date
Even by the standards of Io, the most volcanic celestial body in the solar system, recent events observed on the Jovian moon are extreme. Scientists with NASA’s Juno mission have discovered a volcanic hot spot in the southern hemisphere of Jupiter’s moon Io.
NASA’s Juno Mission Detects Most Powerful Volcanic Eruption Ever Seen on Io
NASA’s Juno mission has captured the most powerful volcanic eruption ever recorded on Io, Jupiter’s highly active moon. Even by Io’s extreme standards—where more than 400 volcanoes constantly reshape its surface—the latest event stands out as an unparalleled display of cosmic firepower.
