												erupting--is one of the most spectacular discoveries by the Galileo mission at Io. The images are 
												of an area called Tvashtar and show curtains of lava fountains erupting on the surface. They were 
												taken by the Galileo spacecraft on November 26, 1999. The active region is approximately 25 
												kilometers long (15.5 miles) and 1 km (.6 mile) high. The radiant energy emitted from the lava 
												curtain was so intense that it overpowered the camera's detector and it is registered only in 
												white.</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/365CEA92-1F64-4E1C-A6A6-66316C4A1826/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.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>
