Starting out at several times the diameter of Earth, this so-called “sub-Neptune” is believed to have quickly lost its primordial hydrogen and helium atmosphere due to the intense radiation of the hot, young star it orbits.

The Naples region is one of the brightest in Italy. Roughly three million people live in and around this metropolitan area.The large black circular area in the photo is Mount Vesuvius, the only active volcano on Europe’s mainland. Although any volcanic activity can endanger surrounding communities, eruptive pyroclastic flows of superheated ash and gas are among the most dangerous, moving at speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour. Vesuvius has erupted on numerous occasions throughout history. Probably the most famous of those eruptions occurred in 79 A.D., when pyroclastic flows destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, trapping more than 16,000 people. Such historic catastrophes—and the fact that 600,000 people currently live in the immediate vicinity—are why the volcano is one of the most heavily monitored in the world, with several dozen sensors located at many points on and around the cone.The different colors of lights in the scene reflect some of the history of development in the area. The green lights are mercury vapor bulbs, an older variety that has been replaced in newer developments by yellow-orange sodium bulbs. To the northeast, the lightless gaps between the homes and businesses are agricultural fields. The bright yellow-orange complex amidst the fields is the Consorzio Intercomunale dei Servizi, the largest commercial facility in Europe. || Unpop_Slopes_Active_Volcan_Naples_It_print.jpg (1024x540) [202.8 KB] || Unpop_Slopes_Active_Volcan_Naples_It.png (4096x2160) [15.3 MB] || Unpop_Slopes_Active_Volcan_Naples_It_searchweb.png (320x180) [109.9 KB] || Unpop_Slopes_Active_Volcan_Naples_It_thm.png (80x40) [6.6 KB] || unpopulated-slopes-of-an-active-volcanonaples-italy.hwshow [347 bytes] || ", "hits": 34 }, { "id": 4664, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4664/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2018-07-27T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Jupiter's Magnetosphere", "description": "Jupiter's magnetosphere - a basic view. || Jupiter_JupiterBasic_Dayside.slate_BaseRig.HD1080i.1000_print.jpg (1024x576) [245.3 KB] || Jupiter_JupiterBasic_Dayside.slate_BaseRig.HD1080i.1000_searchweb.png (320x180) [132.5 KB] || Jupiter_JupiterBasic_Dayside.slate_BaseRig.HD1080i.1000_thm.png (80x40) [8.3 KB] || JupiterBasic-noglyph (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || Jupiter_JupiterBasic_Dayside.HD1080i_p30.webm (1920x1080) [32.8 MB] || Jupiter_JupiterBasic_Dayside.HD1080i_p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [406.6 MB] || JupiterBasic-noglyph (3840x2160) [0 Item(s)] || Jupiter_JupiterBasic_Dayside_2160p30.mp4 (3840x2160) [984.8 MB] || Jupiter_JupiterBasic_Dayside.HD1080i_p30.mp4.hwshow [206 bytes] || ", "hits": 229 }, { "id": 30965, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30965/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2018-05-31T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "The Infrared Glow of Kilauea’s Lava Flows", "description": "The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 acquired the data for this false-color view of the lava flow as it appeared on the night of May 23, 2018. || IR_leilani_print.jpg (1024x574) [95.3 KB] || IR_leilani.png (4104x2304) [3.5 MB] || IR_leilani_searchweb.png (320x180) [44.9 KB] || IR_leilani_thm.png (80x40) [2.7 KB] || the-infrared-glow-of-kilaueas-lava-flows.hwshow [284 bytes] || ", "hits": 24 }, { "id": 4142, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4142/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2017-07-12T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "Jupiter's Magnetosphere", "description": "Earth's magnetic field creates a 'bubble' around Earth that helps protect our planet from some of the more harmful effects of energetic particles streaming out from the sun in the solar wind. Some of the earliest hints of this interaction go back to the 1850s with the work of Richard Carrington, and in the early 1900s with the work of Kristian Birkeland and Carl Stormer. That this field might form a type of 'bubble' around Earth was hypothesized by Sidney Chapman and Vincent Ferraro in the 1930s. The term 'magnetosphere' was applied to magnetic bubble by Thomas Gold in 1959. But it wasn't until the Space Age, when we sent the first probes to other planets, that we found clear evidence of their magnetic fields (though there were hints of a magnetic field for Jupiter in the 1950s, due to observations from radio telescopes). The Voyager program , two spacecraft launched in 1977, and successors to the Pioneer 10 and 11 missions, completed flybys of the giant outer planets. They became the implementation of the 'Grand Tour' of the outer planets originally proposed in the late 1960s. The Voyagers provided some of the first detailed measurments of the strength, extent and diversity of the magnetospheres of the outer planets.In these visualizations, we present simplified models of these planetary magnetospheres, designed to illustrate their scale, and basic features of their structure and impacts of the magnetic axes offset from the planetary rotation axes. The volcanic activity on Jupiter's moon Io launches a large amount of sulfur-based compounds along its orbit, which is subsequently ionized by solar ultraviolet radiation. This is represented in the visualization by the yellowish structure along the orbit of Io. This creates a plasma torus and ring current around Jupiter, which alters the planet's magnetic field, forming some of the perturbations in Jupiter's magnetic field along the orbit of Io.For these visualizations, the magnetic field structure is represented by gold/copper lines. Some additional glyphs are provided to indicate some key directions in the field model.The Yellow arrow points towards the sun. The magnetotail is pointed in the opposite direction.The Cyan arrow represents the magnetic axis, usually tilted relative to the rotation axis. The arrow indicates the NORTH magnetic pole (convention has field lines moving north to south as the north pole of bar magnet (and compass pointer) points to the south magnetic pole).The Blue arrow represents the north rotation axis. It is part of the 3-D axis glyph (red, green, and blue arrows) included to make the planetary rotation more apparent.The semi-transparent grey mesh in the distance represents the boundary of the magnetosphere.Major satellites of the planetary system are also included. When appropriate for the time window of the visualization, the Voyager flyby trajectories are indicated.The models are constructed by combining the fields of a simple magnetic dipole, a current sheet (whose intensity is tuned match the scale of the magnetotail), and occasionally a ring current. This is a variation of the simple Luhmann-Friesen magnetosphere model. They are meant to be representative of the basic characteristics of the planetary magnetic fields. Some features NOT included are longitudes of magnetic poles to a standard planetary coordinate system and offsets of the dipole center from the planetary center. ReferencesT.

Such flows resulted in the large, dark spots on the moon’s surface that we see today. Scientists thought the moon's last volcanoes erupted at least 1 billion years ago.

In these unusual areas, averaging 500 meters in diameter, smooth mounds sit next to blocky terrain. Unlike the rest of the moon, the structures have almost no craters, suggesting that they’re the remnants of recent lava flows that occurred within the last 100 million years.
