Picture of the Time Being

This is one of the most beautiful pictures I have seen. It is of Io, one of Jupiter's Galilean moons. It is believed to be the most volcanic place known in the solar system. It has such a thin atmosphere that when the volcanoes go off, the lava may be spewed into space. I got this picture from the Galileo satelite section in NASA's Home Page. I suggest this to anyone who likes a good picture of Jupiter and its satellites. In fact Jupiter is my favorite planet and I think this is the best picture of one of my favorite moons.
