Io's Interior (Artist's Concept)

This artist's concept illustrates the internal structure of Jupiter's moon Io using scientific findings from NASA's Juno mission. A cutaway view reveals the moon's layered interior, contrasting its volcanic surface with a largely solid mantle containing regions of molten rock surrounding a liquid core.

Rather than depicting a direct observation, the artwork translates spacecraft measurements into a clear scientific visualization. The illustration reflects current evidence suggesting that Io does not contain a shallow global magma ocean, offering an engaging view of one of the Solar System's most geologically active worlds.
