Io, the third-largest moon of Jupiter, is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. “The eruptions are so big that we can actually see them from telescopes based on Earth,” says Dan Spencer, formerly a PhD student at the University of Oxford. “If Io swapped places with...
Since this time, the detection of extrasolar planets from Jupiter-sized to most recently Earth-sized worlds has blossomed and we are finally able to shed light on the plurality of Earth-like, habitable planets in the cosmos. Extrasolar moons may also be frequent habitable worlds but their ...
