This map, released in March 2012 by the U.S. Geological Survey, is the first ever to chart the Jupiter moon Io's geology on a global scale. Io is the most volcanically active object in the solar ...

After a six-year effort, researchers have released the first geologic map of the solar system's most volcanically active object, Jupiter's moon Io. The colorful and highly detailed map, published ...

In the new study, the authors surveyed 266 volcanic hotspots across the moon. This map showed that Io’s lower latitudes were emitting 60 percent more volcanic heat per unit area than the poles.

Scientists have been mapping Io surface using data from the Voyager and Galileo spacecraft. Searching for patterns in this map, Hamilton found that clusters of volcanoes were shifted some 30 to 60 ...
