Most volcanically active spot in the Solar System

Io

Jupiter's moon Io may be small (roughly the size of Earth's moon) compared to the planet, but Io still has a mighty impact on its parent planet.

Smallest of the four Galillean moons of Jupiter

Europa

Scientists are almost certain that hidden beneath the icy surface of Europa is a salty-water ocean thought to contain twice as much water as Earth’s oceans combined.

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the second-largest natural satellite in the Solar System.

Titan

Titan is bigger than Earth's moon, and even larger than the planet Mercury. Titan is the only moon in our solar system that has clouds and a dense atmosphere, and the only world apart from Earth with liquids on its surface.

A multitude of magnificent, swirling clouds in Jupiter's dynamic North Temperate Belt is captured in this image from NASA's Juno spacecraft.

Appearing in the scene are several bright-white "pop-up" clouds as well as an anticyclonic storm, known as a white oval.

​Measuring in at 10,159 miles (16,350 kilometers) in width (as of April 3, 2017) Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is 1.3 times as wide as Earth.

This composite image was generated by combining NASA imagery of Earth with an image of Jupiter taken by astronomer Christopher Go.

Red Spot is bigger than Earth.

What causes different colors in the swirling clouds of gas giants?

​See you next week, space explorers!
