NASA Records Biggest Volcanic Eruption in the Solar System on Io!

NASA’s Juno spacecraft just recorded the largest volcanic eruption ever seen in our Solar System—and it happened on Io, Jupiter’s fiery moon! 🌋 Using its JIRAM infrared instrument, Juno captured an intense volcanic hotspot in Io’s southern region. Scientists believe a hidden network of magma chambers fuels these eruptions, driven by Jupiter’s powerful gravity.

This mind-blowing discovery could help us understand volcanic activity on other moons like Saturn’s Enceladus and Neptune’s Triton. Could these extreme environments even hint at life beyond Earth?
