This illustration shows charged particles from Jupiter hitting the face of Europa, separating icy water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. The scientists believe that some of these newly formed oxygen gases can move into the moon's subsurface ocean, as the circled figure shows. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SWRI/PU

Io is a raging volcanic world. NASA researchers are specifically looking at a "hot spot" observed by several spacecraft orbiting Jupiter that has grown from snapshot to snapshot
A team led by SwRI discovered intermittent evidence of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities, giant swirling waves, at the boundary between Jupiter's magnetosphere and the solar wind that fills interplanetary space. The model here is from scientists at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in a 2017 GRL paper. Credit: UCAR/Zhang, et.al
