The eruption released energy six times greater than all Earth's power plants combined, exceeding 80,000 trillion watts.

NASA's Juno spacecraft has spotted the most powerful volcanic eruption ever seen on the solar system's most volcanic body, the Jovian moon Io.

The acid yellow moon Io that orbits Jupiter may be less than 30% the size of Earth, but is considered the most volcanic body in our solar system. As demonstrated by explosive news from NASA on Tuesday: Io’s southern hemisphere contains a hotspot of volcanic activity so massive, it is larger than Lake Superior.

NASA’s Juno mission found Io’s biggest volcanic eruption ever. The explosion was stronger than all Earth’s power plants combined.

The Juno mission has discovered remarkably strong activity on Jupiter's moon, Io. The hot spot emits eruptions with energy six times greater than the total power of all power plants in the world, NASA's Juno mission scientists caution.

The Juno mission has uncovered remarkably intense activity on Io, a moon of Jupiter. "The hotspot is releasing eruptions with energy six times greater than the total power generated by all power plants in the world,
