A new study published in Nature Astronomy suggests that the heat powering the volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io may come from "heat engines" located just below the moon's surface. Io is known for its intense volcanic activity, and understanding the source of its internal heat could provide insights into the heating mechanisms of other icy moons, such as Europa. The study used data from NASA's Juno spacecraft to create a global map of Io's erupting volcanoes, revealing that the majority of volcanic heat is concentrated at shallow depths. However, the exact mechanisms behind Io's volcanic activity remain complex and uncertain. [Extracted from the article] |
