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?
