Volcanoes On Io, Jupiter's Moon: Extraordinary!
via NASA.
Good article for those interested in volcanoes and space.
There are plumes from two different volcanoes in the photograph, positioned at 9:00 o'clock and 11:00 o'clock.
Apparently the fierce tidal pull of Jupiter and the other moons causes the vulcanism on Io(see animation toward bottom of article).
