Nearly full view of Io, one of the moons of Jupiter, 1979.
Nearly full view of Io, one of the moons of Jupiter, 1979. Taken from Voyager this moon was named the pizza moon because of its mottled appearance. Io is highly volcanic and this picture shows several volcanic areas. This picture was taken by one of the two Voyager spacecraft that were launched in 1977 to explore the planets in the outer solar system. Both flew past Jupiter in 1979 before flying on to Saturn.
