Summary
| Description |
English: A plume of gas and particles is ejected some 100 kilometers (about 60 miles) above the surface of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io in this color image, recently taken by NASA¹s Galileo spacecraft.
The plume is erupting from near the location of a plume first observed by the Voyager spacecraft in 1979 and named Masubi. However, during the course of the Galileo tour of Jupiter and its moons, a plume has appeared at different locations within the Masubi region. This color image is the same as the previously released false color mosaic of Io, but with special processing to enhance the visibility of the plume. The plume appears blue because of the way small particles in the plume scatter light. North is to the top of the picture, and the Sun illuminates the surface from almost directly behind the spacecraft. The resolution is 1.3 kilometers (0.8 miles) per picture element. The images were taken on July 3, 1999 at a distance of about 130,000 kilometers (81,000 miles) by the Galileo¹s camera. |
