Io and the Prometheous feather
Credit: Galileo Project, JPL, NASA
This is a picture of Io, Jupiter satellite, taken by Galileo in 1997 and recently analyzed. We can see very clearly 2 feathers of sulfurous eruptions (calculated height: about 75km):superb! These eruptions were detected at first per Voyager in 1979 and are still active today.
