NASA's Juno spacecraft will be flying past Io all year long. I wrote about what we'll see and why a proposed mission could tell us even more about Io:

Tidal forces can cause the surface of Jupiter's moon Io to bulge up to 100 meters (330 feet).
On Earth, the biggest difference between low and high tide is 18 meters (60 feet), and this is for water, not a solid surface!
All of that stress makes Io the most volcanically active world in our solar system.

@danielcormier Yeah, I suppose I should hook up my Roku again. With each software update I hope it will get better... but nope.
@uguisubari @mwbbrown Please, no spoilers!
@uguisubari I'm hoping we'll get some news soon on whether there will be an HDMI 4, but I don't want to get my hopes up.
