												so that blue to yellow to red represents increasing brightness. The bright spots indicate the 
												locations of volcanic vents on lo, which are spewing hot lava. This image and other data from 
												NASA's Galileo spacecraft indicate that the lava at Pillan Patera (the brightest spot) exceeded 
												1,700 degrees Kelvin (2,600 degrees Fahrenheit) and may have reached 2,000 degrees Kelvin 
												(3,140 degrees Fahrenheit). The hottest eruptions on Earth today reach temperatures of about 
												1,500 Kelvin (2,240 degrees Fahrenheit), but hotter lava erupted billions of years ago.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/12DC35AD-3184-4606-BB4D-9F6F8E41D4F6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
