Also known as Jupiter I, Io (moon)

innermost of the 4 Galilean moons of Jupiter

AI overview

Io is the innermost of Jupiter's four largest moons, discovered by Galileo in the early 1600s. It is scientifically significant because it is the most volcanically active body in our solar system, with hundreds of active volcanoes driven by intense internal heating.
