Caught in a gravitational tug-of-war between the King of Planets and its icy siblings, Io shouldn't exist the way it does. It is a world where the solid ground rises and falls by 100 meters every single day a rock tide driven by forces so extreme they melt the moon from the inside out. What looks like a simple moon is actually the most volcanically active body in the Solar System, a place where mountains collapse overnight and lakes of lava glow in the dark vacuum of space.

In this video, we explore the terrifying mechanics behind Io’s "tidal heating," the invisible plasma donut it creates around Jupiter, and why this small, tortured world might be the most dangerous place humans could ever attempt to visit.
