How can we not understand how volcanoes recurring on Io when it is a given the squeezing and stretching of the moon is what is keeping its internal structure hot via friction and thus molten? Seems fairly straight forward to my mind.

[@joemcintyre2090]

We got to get some more probes to Jupiter's moons!

[@Hiddensecret9]

Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system, even surpassing Mercury in size. Its surface is a mix of two main types of terrain: older, heavily cratered dark regions and younger, lighter regions marked by grooves and ridges, indicative of tectonic activity. Recent observations by NASA's Juno mission have detected mineral salts and organic compounds on Ganymede's surface, suggesting complex chemical processes. Additionally, Ganymede possesses a unique magnetic field, likely generated by a liquid iron-nickel core, making it the only moon known to have such a feature.

Hey astronomers, why do we always see the spot when we look at Jupiter? Jupiter is rotating relative to the Earth, correct? Doesn't it rotate out of view periodically? Or is the planet rotating beneath the atmosphere?

[@georgegolitzin6196]

Jupiter rotates in a ten hour period, so yes, the GRS rotates out of view. I used to spend many hours trying to tease out details while sketching the planet.

[@erichwilliams8756]

I have 2 really weird theories of the formation of Jupiter's red spot. 1st, is that the spot formed/'s by 1 or more subsurface layers having a storm made of higher density gases. With that first storm seed, spinning at an extreme velocity. Having a contact friction pull on the less dense gases above it. Since the above layer is less dense, the torque of the storm below has a larger effect on the layer above, causing the storm to have a larger diameter, but moving slower. This second layer in turn does the same to the layer above it. And like what you said around 4:30 mins in, the red spot is being continuously fed by smaller storm's. That first layer is veing fed newer smaller and faster storms, leeching the momentum to keep it going, doing the same each layer going up to rhe surface. 2nd, and take this one with a sense of humor(positive vibes can give weird but useful ideas to entertain). The fastest moon around Jupiter takes 7 days to orbit around 1 time. What if when the formation of Jupiter was occuring there was a small-medium sized moon orbiting under the red spots surface at a high speed* thats able to maintaine a stable obit under the visible surface of Jupiter's red spot. Thats my wall of text. Enjoy 😂

[@KeithPrince-cp3me]

I recall claims the red spot was shrinking being made decades ago. So it seems to come and go.

[@OneBentMonkey]

Great to see new info on my fav moon, Io! I was under the impression that the leading hypothesis as to the cause of its volcanism is that is due to the extreme tidal forces from its gravitationally massive parent constantly stretching and deforming the little moon.

[@ulicadluga]

The first, and much cheaper step should be to land a "mini-probe" onto Europa, just to analyse the surface of that moon. Surely, miniaturised space exploration is the way to go - and it is technically viable.

[@Kualinar]

In the early drawings, the spot looks significantly smaller than it's current size.

[@DavidGuianen]

So essentially volcanoes on Io are more like pimples where there is a hard central core and then the sebum and other skin oils erupt around the perimeter.

[@absentiaaaaa]

goofy face again i love it

[@tomhiggins2562]

It could be that the ocean beneath the ice is separated from the frozen crust by a gaseous layer under pressure. If that's the case then drilling into that high pressure layer might result in some fairly dynamic results. Same could be true of other ocean ice worlds like Enceladus.

[@ulicadluga]

Perhaps, for life to evolve in a completely dark world, there needs to be an "ecosystem", otherwise lifeforms will eventually run out of organic food. Is it possible that there are some sort of mosses, fungi, bacteria or plankton that circulate from the icy surface down to the warm waters or geothermal vents. Otherwise, I doubt there'd be enough "ecosystem" to sustain even moderately complex lifeforms.

[@ucantSQ]

A lot of energy could come from the sea floor through gravitational interactions between Europa and Jupiter. Sunlight isn't the only energy source.

[@ulicadluga]

@ucantSQ If infrared radiation could be used for a process like photosynthesis. It seems unlikely.

[@earlofdoncaster5018]

We don't have to drill 20km to get to the ocean of Europa: We just need a source of heat and a long cable. The heat source (possibly a nuclear thermal device) would gradually melt its way through the ice, unravelling the cable as it descends. Once it reaches liquid water it switches from producing heat to electricity and sends pictures and data via the cable.

[@Kaimelar8]

Perhaps the "volcanoes" on Io are so strange because they can be better described as an electric discharge (like EDM but on a grand scale) between Jupiter and Io, as it passes through Jupiter's massively powerful magnetosphere. This might be why the plumes reach ridiculous heights and have an unusual shape.

Hi Anton. Whether today's Great Red Spot is the same one that Cassini saw is an odd thing to get hung up about. Storms consist of many clouds, which form and dissipate regularly. If I had a broom and replaced the brush 30 times and the handle 20 times, is it the same broom? With that in mind, existentially, the Great Red Spot is a different Great Red Spot every day.

[@Car1Sagan]

[@eodmax85]

[@brentwilbur]

What you describe on Io sounds similar to flood basalt. Or maybe either incomplete caldera formation, or rapidly accelerated caldera formation.

[@markusmencke8059]

Before we really go for drilling into Europa‘s ice, we should carefully look for any black-as-space 1:4:9 sized monoliths… 😉

[@jackneefus]

The Great Red Spot is probably the cross-section of an exchange of charge between levels of the atmosphere (or between the atmosphere and the surface). It is possible that it is shrinking because it is close to the highest point of Solar Cycle 25, which has been stronger than expected. It will most likely enlarge after 2024 or 2025.

[@noelstarchild]

Io? It is the remnant of Mordor, since the one was destroyed it got to hang out inside Jupiter's gravitational influence for want of nothing better to do.

[@Tessil666]

looks like a lump in the mantle or a bump on the core is driving the red spot, maybe the last meal still bugging old jupi 🙃

[@nutherefurlong]

Could prospective life be in the ice itself on Europa? I would hope some precaution was taken in picking drill sites, at least. Has there been any spectrographic differences in the surface ice as far as we've been able to tell? Even if there's no sign of life there it's a fascinating place.

At least on Io the gravity would be low enough to jump over the lava

[@someguy-k2h]

If you are talking about impacts in the solar system, these are nothing. The very largest impacts, in terms of energy, didn't leave craters at all. The largest between Earth and Theia gave us the moon, and the second largest between Earth and Mercury, stripped away all but a tiny sliver of the crust of Mercury, and caused Mercury to lose enough velocity that it fell into its current orbit so close to the sun. The third largest was with Venus and a planetesimal 1600 km across which turned the entire surface of the planet into a lake of lava. If you are talking about impact craters, Mercury still wins. Caloris basin (crater) is 1,525 km across. The second largest, Rembrandt basin (crater) is 716 km. The outer planets can't compete with the collisions that occurred with the inner planets.

[@brigidsingleton1596]

Poor Thea.😢 And what will our tides be like when there's no more "give and take" with the Sun, after the Moon moves out of range (as it's already moving away from us, but it'll take awhile yet...)

[@someguy-k2h]

@@brigidsingleton1596 I have a stiff drink every day to mourn poor Theia. We owe so much the sacrifice of that protoplanet. The moon recedes from the Earth at 3.8 cm/year. That will slow down the further it recedes from us. If we don't learn how to control our sun, it will likely envelop the Earth/moon before we lose the moon. There is always a small chance some big thing will hit the moon in the right way, an push it out of a stable orbit. We likely would die from the debris, but then our tides will be messed up.

[@hypercomms2001]

Why do the clouds on Jupiter move in opposite directions?

[@brianorca]

Same happens on Earth, just not quite so fast. Here we call them "westerlies" and "trade winds". On both planets, the wind is driven by heat convection and Coriolis effects.
