A cosmic dance

The Laplace resonance is a famous orbital lock between Io, Europa and Ganymede. For every orbit Ganymede completes, Europa makes two and Io makes four, a precise 1:2:4 rhythm named after the French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace. This tidal tug-of-war heats Io’s interior and powers its volcanoes.

Loki Patera: Io’s lava lake

Loki Patera is the largest volcanic depression on Io, a vast caldera that scientists believe holds a lake of lava which brightens and darkens over time. It is one of the most powerful volcanic features known anywhere in the Solar System.
