  • ReDBuLLCuRT, on 08/17/2008, -3/+28It reminds me of a sandwich I once left in my backpack for 3 weeks.
  • Zeonick, on 08/17/2008, -3/+9No Joke: Jupiter's massive gravitational pull literally stretches and pulls this moon apart. Pretty badass.
  • Borgcube636, on 08/17/2008, -0/+5Constructing a base perhaps? As in, a superweapon capable of destroying planets?

    EDIT: Oops, wrong moon.
  • inactive, on 08/17/2008, -2/+5Pretty wild - almost like looking back into time to see what a "early" earth might have been like.
  • Anomaly100, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2I love this image. It's oddly the comparable opposite version of our moon. Visually speaking at least.

  • staystellar, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1reminds me of bile..... probably because i feel like throwing up by looking at it.
  • Xspire, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1Wow I should have finished the title. At first glance I clicked on it because I was excited to see that Apple had moved away from the whole putting "i" in front of everything.
  • Relaxin22, on 08/17/2008, -1/+2It reminds me of an STD.
  • jamessavik, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1Besides for gravity, Io gets roasted by radiation from Jupiter's magnetosphere.
  • thegrantman, on 08/17/2008, -1/+1It's incredible when you think of the size of those volcanoes....if the picture reveals objects as small as 1.5 miles across,imagine how large the rest are.
  • omaui, on 08/25/2008, -0/+0Wow. I think that photo just rekindled my childhood dream of being an astronaut again. Thank you again APotD!

  • oscarelmexicano, on 08/17/2008, -5/+3Evidently there are tons of sulfur, and volcacnic activity, making this not my favorite place to visit. It looks like a worn out baseball.
  • fndavid, on 08/17/2008, -3/+1looks like the tostinos pizza i ate last night.
  • inactive, on 08/17/2008, -2/+0Photoshop

  • LydiLouiKats, on 08/17/2008, -8/+3I like it, it looks cool, and not in the temperature sense.
    I like the previous comment better than mine though, that's pretty funny!
