Gung-ho for Io GOTY contender That’s right! We already have a front runner for Gung-ho for Io’s game of the year. Currently, Destiny 2 holds a lofty edge over everything else this year for its depiction of Io as a playable area.  More research is required as to the accuracy in Destiny 2′s depiction of the solar system’s greatest moon.  If you have played the game and have information pertaining to Io as it appears in-game, don’t hesitate to get in touch!

I want, like, all of these.

We want to say it’s Io in the upper right corner of the Jupiter image, but it seems every one of these shares a background.

Io gets airtime on an Astrum video! Life is good.  Skip to about 5:09 if you don’t want to wait to get to that Ionian goodness.

New neighbors for Io?

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/02/120202-new-moons-jupiter-satellites-swarm-space-science/ Two possible new moons of Jupiter! Though the title of the article makes it sound super rad, these are almost certainly potato-tier moons. In fact, apparently they’re only about a kilometer wide. Tater tot moons?  Either way, nice choice of pics Nat Geo. A moon we can all aspire to.

Steve’s got his priorities straight. ..Except Io isn’t really an ice moon. I mean, it has snow, but it certainly isn’t an ice moon. So close, yet so far. 

[gunghoforio]

Know the difference.

Electric Io?

Conspiracy theories about Io?  Libertarian News has got you covered!  https://www.libertariannews.org/2014/07/17/io-the-electrified-moon/

I thought of this at work, I dunno.

Jupiter´s moon Io is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. Could it also be a habitat for life?

Enceladus is getting the movie star treatment lately, reasonably so! Ocean worlds are all the rage. But perhaps Io used to be an ocean world. Io is above your trends. Been there, done that. 

Now we know what you’re thinking, “Gunghoforio, there’s no way Io could have life on it. Not with all the radiation Jupiter throws at it!”   But consider this! Radiation is one of the most commonly reported ways to procure superpowers. That’s right. Io could have super life.  And that’s just another reason Io is super rad.

Oh yeah, let’s have a video that mentions all the major Jovian moons but Io. (Io’s still there, just kinda grayed out. Weird) 

[gunghoforio]

Delightful music and only a few english errors.

Humanized Io! Also dad Jupiter.

Jupiter being that close would likely be disastrous, but for a few brief moments we would be that much closer to Io. Also be sure to check out Yeti Dynamics’ other videos, they’re delightful!
