The acid yellow moon Io that orbits Jupiter may be less than 30% the size of Earth, but is considered the most volcanic body in our solar system. As demonstrated by explosive news from NASA on Tuesday: Io’s southern hemisphere contains a hotspot of volcanic activity so massive, it is larger than Lake Superior.

NASA's Juno spacecraft has spotted the most powerful volcanic eruption ever seen on the solar system's most volcanic body, the Jovian moon Io.

NASA’s Juno mission found Io’s biggest volcanic eruption ever. The explosion was stronger than all Earth’s power plants combined.
