We have surface pictures of Titan, imagine Io. Miles of yellow plains and valleys of sulfur, violent supermassive volcanoes erupting in the distance all around you, wouldn't it be so cool if we stuck a rover on there to wander around and take a few pictures?

Io in True Color

The strangest moon in the Solar System is bright yellow. This picture, an attempt to show how Io would appear in the "true colors" perceptible to the average human eye, was taken in 1999 July by the Galileo spacecraft that orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003. Io's colors derive from sulfur and molten silicate rock. The unusual surface of Io is kept very young by its system of active volcanoes. The intense tidal gravity of Jupiter stretches Io and damps wobbles caused by Jupiter's other Galilean moons. The resulting friction greatly heats Io's interior, causing molten rock to explode through the surface. Io's volcanoes are so active that they are effectively turning the whole moon inside out. Some of Io's volcanic lava is so hot it glows in the dark.

Am I an asshole for saying this:
Teenage mothers shouldn't be able to get welfare for more than one child. I know a young woman who had a kid when she was 15, and has now gotten knocked up again by a different guy (she is now 20). She doesn't work, and has no intention to, and her first kid (and soon second) was raised on welfare money. This isn't right. I work my ass off and pay a ton of tax, some of which is going to raise her undisciplined kids.

Pic unrelated

Hello /sci/ducks

Recommend a learning fag/newfag some books to teach himself from.

Tired of being retarded, anyone know of any decent physics/science textbooks for a newfag?

Picture randomized.

I am fucking severely disappointed fuck it. But I'll continue to dump just in case and for any people who might like.

You will never see the surface of Io.

Here's how the moon would look to your eye, if you were orbiting the moon in a shuttle.

hey /sci/ what are some good documentaries/videos of space i could watch?
