Io: The Prometheus Plume
Explanation: What's happening on Jupiter's moon Io? Two sulfurous eruptions are visible on
Jupiter's volcanic moon Io in this color composite image from the robotic Galileo spacecraft that
orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003. At the image top, over Io's limb, a bluish plume rises about 140
kilometers above the surface of a volcanic caldera known as Pillan Patera. In the image middle, near
the night/day shadow line, the ring shaped Prometheus plume is seen rising about 75 kilometers
above Io while casting a shadow below the volcanic vent. Named for the Greek god who gave mortals
fire, the Prometheus plume is visible in every image ever made of the region dating back to the
Voyager flybys of 1979 - presenting the possibility that this plume has been continuously active for at
least 18 years. The above digitally sharpened image was originally recorded in 1997 on June 28 from
a distance of about 600,000 kilometers.
