The Io–Jupiter system is similar, in scale, to an exoplanet orbiting an M-dwarf, and if volcanic Io doesn't have a magma ocean then perhaps exoplanets on close orbits around M-dwarfs don't either.

The volcanic world of Jupiter's moon Io can be seen in extraordinary detail in new images beamed from NASA’s Juno orbiter after its most recent flyby.. The encounter was Juno's second with Io ...

Recent strange activity around Jupiter’s volcanic moon, Io, confused and excited scientists. By Oliver Whang Io, the third largest of Jupiter’s moons, is caught in a pressurized, explosive ...

Recent flybys of the fiery world refute a leading theory of its inner structure—and reveal how little is understood about geologically active moons.

There are hundreds of active volcanoes on Io. The new one is located just south of Io’s equator and the Juno images show fresh lava flows and volcanic deposits covering an area of 32,400 square ...

New research confirms Jupiter's moon Io has been a volcanic hellscape for almost the Solar System’s entire 4.57 billion-year history.
