Jupiter's Moon Io

Io is one of the moons of Jupiter. Io's volcanos continually resurface it, so that any impact craters have disappeared. This image was taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft. The Voyager spacecrafts were launched in 1977 and passed by all of the gas giants including Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Both spacecraft are now speeding towards the edges of our solar system and still sending back data.
