If you happen to find yourself on Jupiter's moon Io, you could be in for some trouble.*
The moon is thought to be the most volcanic place in the solar system, with hundreds of volca**es dotting its surface and lava spewing all over the moon.*

Observations taken in 2015 but published this week in the journal Nature (http://nature.com/articles/doi:10.1038/nature22339) show what appear to be waves of lava moving through Io's Loki Patera, a 200-kilometer-wide volcanic crater.
Researchers think they've spotted two waves of lava moving from west to east in the crater.* Read more... (http://mashable.com/2017/05/11/jupiter-moon-io-waves-of-lava/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial)
