new creechur coming at you

I have unfortunately imprinted on this hell moon so space cat Io is very much 'just like me fr'

She is rather tetchy and most of the time wants to be alone, being very avoidant of unwanted interactions. She can get angry very easily if she is engaged in conversation when she is not in the mood for it. She recoils from physical touch. Fortunately, her Galilean siblings respect her boundaries, and she feels content to hang around them while not speaking. When she is in the mood, she can be quite charming and humorous. She gets along very well with Jupiter, and will often go to him to cool off after an outburst. The problems come because the smaller moons don't really understand her that well, and overstep her boundaries as a result. Unfortunately, she does also need to learn how to talk to kids calmly, without blowing up....

On terrestrial bodies, lava is the equivalent of blood, so Io's volcanoes are interpreted as an issue with skin-picking (*sigh* just like me fr 😔)

The mane being stylized to look like teeth is probably a bit overkill, but I think it looks cool and adds to her intimidating appearance

I love my silly little girlthing

The most geologically active body in the solar system, Io’s sulfuric plains are pockmarked by an estimated 400 active volcanoes, with mountains taller than Mount Everest......

What are those spots on Jupiter? Largest and furthest, just right of center, is the Great Red Spot -- a huge storm system that has been raging on Jupiter possibly since Giovanni Cassini's likely notation of it 352 years ago. It is not yet known why this Great Spot is red. The spot toward the lower left is one of Jupiter's largest moons: Europa. Images from Voyager in 1979 bolster the modern hypothesis that Europa has an underground ocean and is therefore a good place to look for extraterrestrial life. But what about the dark spot on the upper right? That is a shadow of another of Jupiter's large moons: Io. Voyager 1 discovered Io to be so volcanic that no impact craters could be found. Sixteen frames from Voyager 1's flyby of Jupiter in 1979 were recently reprocessed and merged to create the featured image. Forty years ago today, Voyager 1 launched from Earth and started one of the greatest explorations of the Solar System ever.

I want everyone to know that the moon Io has a part of it that looks like a rat according to google maps.

Io: Moon over Jupiter

Explanation: How big is Jupiter's moon Io? The most volcanic body in the Solar System, Io (usually pronounced "EYE-oh") is 3,600 kilometers in diameter, about the size of planet Earth's single large natural satellite. Gliding past Jupiter at the turn of the millennium, the Cassini spacecraft captured this awe inspiring view of active Io with the largest gas giant as a backdrop, offering a stunning demonstration of the ruling planet's relative size. Although in the featured picture Io appears to be located just in front of the swirling Jovian clouds, Io hurtles around its orbit once every 42 hours at a distance of 420,000 kilometers or so from the center of Jupiter. That puts Io nearly 350,000 kilometers above Jupiter's cloud tops, roughly equivalent to the distance between Earth and Moon. In July, NASA's Juno satellite began orbiting Jupiter and will sometimes swoop to within 5,000 kilometers of Jupiter's cloud tops.
