Io: The Most Volcanic Moon in the Solar System

Io is the most volcanically active moon in the solar system, the real home of fire and brimstone, a local Mustafar. But what makes this sulphur-stained moon to volcanic?

I'm loving the moons videos you make on the channel, especially with the New Moon announcements! Keep up the great work 👏

[mikip]

Oooh yeah. Finally returning to the Moon videos!!!!

0:24 This image reminds me of a dream I had once...Where I was in a video game or something (something like Rimworld) And I was looking at a map of the in-game world...and all these little black dots were appearing in random places...but rather than volcanoes, those little black dots were mini-blackholes, and they were slowly destroying the world. It was weird.

1:13 F9 km accross
3:27 1F, 000 km
3:31 2F km
5:48 R orbital: 421, F00 km (io)
5:51 Mass: F.3 x 10 to the power of 22 (moon)

Finally, the man of m o o n s is back! If I can make a suggestion, even though every moon are interesting, maybe make a video about Nereid or Hyperion? Nereid has the currently most eccentric moon orbit, and Hyperion looks like a lunar sponge. We don't mind though, all moons are cool

Interesting video! I would also like for you to make video about Enceladus, the most active cryovolcanos, or either Europa, which I kinda assume you are working in it because of This video I think you would also make another volcanic world but icy one

[Scuti]

Io is very interesting. One month everything could look normal, and then the next there would be a massive volcano erupting, spreading smoke all around the moon.

[YourrandomComrade]

can you come back? when is your next video?

[thespacedinos]

oh my god the man is back
also this was a great video on this pizza moon

[ameliadiaz]

I wonder what's the most cryovolcanic moon in all our Solar System. Either could be Jupiter's Europa, Saturn's Enceladus or maybe Neptune's Triton.

Recommended video ideas:

Saturn's moons (they are some moons named now)

Jupiter's new 12 moons

[Filipinomappingandspace]

Can u do S/2006 S 20?

It's a fragment of Phoebe

[DyaliGonda]

I had a idea for the next video the name of the video philophrosyne the no image moon.

[thebeautyofuniverse]

Dude why did you delete video of thebe? It was amazing

[Meveron_The_Planet]

Can the next vid be about Eris' new moon?

[Ovukekat]

The carme group has the most new moons!

[mutsyti]

You know how the difference between an asteroid and a dwarf planet or planet is that asteroids don't have enough gravity to pull themselves into a spherical shape. I was wondering if there was a name for moons that are also too small to pull themselves into a spherical shape.

[kacklin]

Fun fact 12 new Jupiter moons have been found on feb 7th 2023 so Jupiter has 92 moons

[Jasmin_The_planet]

Hey saternow has 89 moons meanwhile Jupiter now has 92

[real_logangifty]

You (probably) forget what IO was named after, because you are one of a smartie moon know what moons are named after
