k Galileo image of Jupiters moon Io Io. Enhancedcolour view of Io, innermost of the Galilean moons of Jupiter. The orange and yellow colours come from various forms and compounds of sulphur which cover most of the surface. The white areas are thought to be sulphur dioxide frost. Just upper right of centre is a large black feature called Loki. This is thought to be a 250kmwide lake of sulphur, with a large raft of solid sulphur floating in it. Loki is a volcanic feature, plumes of ejected material being seen in earlier Voyager images. This image was made in near infrared, green and ultraviolet light by the Galileo spacecraft in June 1996.
