Written by expert researchers, this book covers all the major aspects of research in Jupiter’s moon Io, from the interior to its space environment. Io is one of the Solar System’s most exotic satellites. The book discusses Io’s interior, geology, atmosphere, and, in particular, its active volcanism, which was discovered from observations by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in 1979, confirming a possibility suggested from theoretical studies based on Io’s orbit. Our knowledge of Io’s volcanism, composition, and space environment was significantly increased as a result of observations by other spacecrafts, including Galileo.
