 In this New Horizons view aimed at Io surface features, the Tvashtar volcano shows as a dark spot at 11 o'clock, surrounded by a large dark ring, where an area larger than Texas has been covered by fallout from the giant eruption. The image was taken during Jupiter flyby operations on Feb. 26, 2007. Credit: NASA/JHU/APL/SwRI. Click to enlarge.
