Io is fascinating because of its constant volcanism and seismism due to the gravitational pull exerted by Jupiter.

Those two probes gave us so much information they'll be studying it for decades to come. Godspeed little buddies.
You enjoy and appreciate what Simon does, but you can't be arsed to respect him enough to spell *you* and *your,* but use the ridiculous "shorthand" from way back in the Dark Ages of texting, when you were charged by the freaking letter. It's _very_ disrespectful, not just lazy. Shame on you!
One of the writers snuck in a Slayer lyrics reference in the episode about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and it was done absolutely at a place that absolutely captures the emotion of the song which was referenced. I'm starting to think it's a team sport for the crew to see who can get Simon to spout the most things he has absolutely no idea what means :P
I really am starting to realize how facinated I am into learning further about the impact and importance of electrical charges in space and on the levels of entire solar systems and entire galaxies. You covered the interaction of positive and negative charged particles and the electromagnetism, plasma, etc. Then I remembered seeing a video that covered the "what looks like a vast bubble around our solar system" that's from our sun and the particles it gives off then eventually there reaches a membrane layer sorta like perimeter that clearly seperates the inner state to the outter state and it makes me think about how just like in the upper parts of our atmosphere and space where we have seen a charge differential occuring and then it creates this dynamic system and a active membrane layer, I can't help but think, could that possibly occur in other regions in space where we find two areas of different charges and a layer in between them? It's just interesting to ponder about. It's interesting how systems in nature can kick start functioning just from the base guideline of having two different states and that can cause interaction and then start natural systems. Hot and cold temperatures which cause air currents. High low pressure, Very dense and less dense, static charges and electromagnetism in a cloud of dust particles in space can start dust to stick together and clump together and things start going from there. The natural world is freaking awesome.
Toba, live near it and studied it. Well worth a visit. The Toba event was the largest eruption in the past 25 million years, created the largest lake in Asia, yet tiny lined up against Io.
You know, at least Earth doesn’t have as much dangerous volcanoes as Io. The Sun is thousands of times more massive than Jupiter, you’d expect it to cause higher tides. But Earth’s orbit is much farther away from The Sun, and that’s a blessing. Because we discovered a planet that is more geologically active than Io: Trappist-1b. A planet that’s basically Trappist-1’s larger version of Mercury, but more extreme. Trappist-1b is thought to be more volcanic than Io because of intense tidal heating from Trappist-1 and the other 6 planets orbiting Trappist-1. Makes you appreciate not being so close to The Sun.
The biggest problem with all of the three innermost moon, Io, Europa and Ganymede, is the amount of radiation. The Europa Clipper will go into and elliptical orbit around Jupiter, swinging by Europa 44 times due to this problem. If it had stayed in close orbit around Europa, it's instruments would be fried quite quickly
The vastly underrated 1981 movie “Outland” was set in a mining colony on Io. It stars Sean Connery as a federal marshal vying with corrupt officials who are pushing a dangerous narcotic to the workers. While in the movie Io is rocky and volcanic, it’s nowhere near the hellscape we now know it to be, where a colony would be impossible.
They truly are. Space is amazing. I grew up in an era when exoplanets were completely unknown (born 1953). We did realise that the Milky Way was not the entire universe, and whilst scientists suspected there were planets around other stars, we only found that to be true in 1992.We once thought there were canals and possibly civilisation on Mars (the reason we thought we saw canals was because of the faulty telescope optics of the time and the mistranslation of the Italian word "canali"--it merely means "channels", not necessarily canals" In 1976, the Viking spacecraft showed that there were no canals and no civilisation. I am glad to be alive to hear of all the exciting discoveries that have been and will be made in my lifetime.
@@coconutsmarties When I look back over the past 70 years, there certainy has been a lot of wonderful (as well as terrible) history that has happened in that time. Unlike my mother, who lived to see the rise and fall of soviet communism, I did live to see the building and demolition of the Berlin Wall as well as seeing humans wallk on our moon. It really has been a wonderfu 70 years so far.
Fun fact-- Ole Roemer became the first person to measure the speed of light. Roemer measured the speed of light by timing eclipses of Jupiter's moon Io.
I made one of the mosaics of IO. I used Voyager images and stitched them together in photo shop for an Astrogeologist from Western University in London, Ontario. That was 24 years ago. 😳 That image I made helped fuel the idea of another mission to IO and Europa.
I.O. might be my favourite moon in the solar system just because of its violent ever-changing landscape and hellish conditions, but if there's going to be a dedicated mission to Jupiter's moons, all four of the Galilean moons should get equal time in the spotlight. That's why I'm hopeful missions like Juice and Europa Clipper will park interest in bigger, more extensive expeditions to all four moons. Each are fascinating in their own right and have much to tell us about the solar system and planetary formation.
Honestly is there any other program that has given us as many groundbreaking revelations about our solar system and universe as the various NASA missions have? Well worth the cost IMO.
Yeah, and Galileo was imprisoned, excommunicated from the church, had to pay steep fines and had to destroy his telescopes and research material for making one of the most significant and important discovery in planetary science. Humans are great!
The volcanic region of IO is right where they should be rather than the poles. If you take a balloon and squish it where you are squishing it will compress and the rest will expand. The same effect happens to IO but rather than compressing and even expansion around it's being pulled in opposite directions. Those directions are where the expansion happens and everywhere else the compression. Expansion like in the balloon make the surface thinner, since it is rock pulling it thinner creates cracks and weak spots in the crust. Cracks and weak spots are where volcano's like to reside on a planets crust hence why they like to be along the tectonic plate edges here on earth. The poles on IO are the least likely to have volcanos.
Io is such an underrated Jovian satellite. It's not likely to have life or even be a potential colonial world, true; but it's beautiful and a reminder of the wild diversity of worlds in our universe. Idk I'm an artist, not a scientist so maybe I'm full of crap. Also, Astrographics channel when? Half the Geographics regions aren't even ON our planet at this point.
It's amazing because it's so just unforgiving lol you survived the lava flows? Welcome to the frozen wasteland! You make it through that? Welcome to the nuclear wasteland! You somehow survive that? Gravity pulling the survive 100ft in different directions every so often just to spice up the trip.
@@michaelf.2449 That's probably what i was getting at lol. It's such an extreme world and it's practically on our doorstep, it begs the question of how many exoplanets or exomoons there could be that are even wilder.
The masses are captivated by "the possibility of alien life" so that gets funding. Once the funding is in the scientists go "And what actually useful instruments can we afford for this probe?". It's a shame really, because understanding more about gravitational interaction, tectonic forces, magnetic fields and volcanic eruptions could lead to better understanding of our own world. Io seems like an obvious place to go to study extremes... I mean, it doesn't have anything BUT extremes.
@@constantinethecataphract5949 it'd be a hell of a post, literally. Might even pay good on account of radioactive ores being something we always need more of, though; if you don't mind wearing lead underwear at work.
IO may have a exotic form of life living inside volcanic caves where the gases can reach high pressures and temperature. Its body may use a combination of hydrogen bonds, covelant, and ionic bounds rather than just being dominated by carbon bonds, and it will use exotic liquids as solvents like molten sulfur, sulfuric acid, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen flouride, and liquid carbon dioxide.
Great topic and video! Thanks. What an amazing moon it is! I can’t for the life of me remember his name, but one of the Voyager imaging scientists once said, “if you lived on Io [bad idea!], you wouldn’t get a daily weather report; you’d get a Geology report: Volcano eruptions to the East, lava flows to the Northwest, mountain-building to the South…” Io is only very slightly larger than our Moon - about 3600Km diameter vs. 3400Km. At first, it seems a little strange to describe it as among the larger moons in the Solar System, considering that Ganymede and Titan are a little larger than the planet Mercury, and Callisto nearly as large! However, yes, the vast majority of the moons of the Solar System - most of them around Saturn and Jupiter, aren’t even big enough to have gotten a particularly round shape.
Johnny Carson, a keen amateur astronomer, was friends with Carl Sagan and often had him as a guest on "The Tonight Show." Once, Sagan showed the first Voyager images of Io Carson: "That's one bad-lookin' moon." Sagan: "It looks like a diseased fruit." 😁
"Over 80 known moons." A wise choice of words as a bunch of new moons have recently been discovered orbiting Jupiter. The total is currently at 92, granting Jupiter the crown of planet with the most moons. Now most of these moons are captured asteroids and comets, but that does not detract from how staggering that number is.
Date is year, then month and day. In civilized world, that is. We should serialize the manufacturing of probes and rockets, so we can send them to every interesting place for relatively cheap.
It would be amazing if you did a series where each video covered a different moon or planet... or dwarf planet... or asteroid... or comet... or transneptunian object. You could make a whole damn channel where each video is about a different one. Even if the videos are fairly basic in their information, I'd still be happen to learn at least something about all of these different bodies in our solar system.
