... They had expected to see impact craters like those on the other terrestrial bodies and from their number per unit area to estimate the age of Io's surface. ... This may have been the most important single discovery of the Voyager missions; it was the first real proof that the interiors of other "terrestrial" bodies are actually hot and active. ... A nalysis of the Voyager images led scienties to believe that the lava flows on Io's surface were composed mostly of various compounds of molten sulfur. ...

... STScI-PRC99-13 HUBBLE CLICKS IMAGES OF IO SWEEPING ACROSS JUPITER While hunting for volcanic plumes on Io, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured these images of the volatile moon sweeping across the giant face of Jupiter. Only a few weeks before these dramatic images were taken, the orbiting telescope snapped a portrait of one of Io's volcanoes spewing sulfur dioxide "snow." ... Astronomers increased the color contrast and added false colors to the image to make the faint plume visible. ...
