NASA's Juno spacecraft has again captured stunning images of Jupiter and its moon Io, providing more insights into the solar ...

Thanks to the Juno probe mission, a mystery about Jupiter's moon Io that lasted over 40 years has been solved. It is now known why Io is the most volcanically active body in the Solar System.

This process is called "tidal heating." It is how Jupiter currently heats up its moon Io, the most volcanically active spot in the solar system. "We think that the Moon went through a period when ...
