Io's Hidden Heat: A New Frontier in Planetary Volcanology The discovery of intense heat beneath Io, Jupiter's most volcanic moon, has sent shockwaves through the scientific community.
The findings, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, offer new insights into the internal dynamics of planets and moons.
One of the most striking aspects of this research is the sheer scale of Io's internal heat output. According to NASA, the moon generates an internal heat output that's up to 30 times greater than Earth's average.
