The Mysterious Inner Workings of Io, Jupiter’s Volcanic Moon

Kill, unlike the only magnetic field of ion, it shows that an ocean hides the liquid value, Europa’s own galileo-era magnetic signal is strong. “It’s a very clean result in Europa,” he said Robert PappardoDoThe project scientist of the Europa mission is in the Reactive War Laboratory. The icy moon is enough to have an intensive plasma flooded coverage environment of the IO’s IO’s IO’s IO’s IO’s IO’s IO’s IO’s IO’s IO’s IO’s IO’s IO’s IP.

But if every two months are tidally heated, why do you just have the inner ocean in Europe? Nimmo, “There is a fundamental difference between the liquid water ocean and the magma ocean. Magma wants to escape; water is not really.” The liquid rock is less dense than hardbird, so he wants to quickly rise and erupt; The new study shows that there is not enough depth inside the iO to form an ocean of the mass. However, the liquid is more intense than the unusual, solid icy shape. “Liquid water is heavy, so he gathers in an ocean,” he said.

“I think it’s a big message from this paper,” he said. The tidal heat can be struggled to create the oceans of the magma. However, in the icy months, the ice can easily make watery oceans due to the correct low ice. And it shows that there are many potential habitats along the solar system to call the house of life.

Hell Poster Child

The revelation of IO’s shallow Magma ocean is known how little about the tidal heat. “We never realized how the mantle mantle melted the mantle, the melting of the mantle was,” said Kleer.

Our own month also shows the evidence of primitive tide temperature. The oldest crystals consisted of the flow of melted substance exploded due to the earth 4.51 billion years ago A huge impact. However, many months, the crystals seem to be formed from a second warehouse of the melted rock 4.35 billion years ago. Where did magma come from later?

Nimmo and appistents offered an idea a piece of paper In December, it was released in the wild: maybe the Earth Bear was like io. The Moon Oo was significantly approached due to the earth and fought for the ground and the areas of gravity from the sun. If both the gravitational force was approximately equal to a certain threshold, the moon may temporarily accept a temporary orbit and is heated by the Earth’s gravity. The internal interior can cause a surprise to the surprise rate of vulcanism.

However, in the interior of the month, the temperature is concentrated and thus is not exactly where the melting is where there is every place where it happens.

Probably, if the iO can be understood, this can be some of our satellites in our solar system, which are also our month, as well as the secret tide engines. So far, this volcanic orb remains dangerous. “IO is a complex animal,” said Davies. “We observe more, how much the data and analyzes are developing, and more.”
