Io: The Prometheus Plume

Curious how something can look quite cute and obscenely revolting at the same time…

I’ve always thought Io looked remarkably like a pizza. Perhaps not in this particular picture though.

Obviously, you haven’t had one of MY pizzas. :laughing:

Yeah. Actually, I think this is the image that fixed that association (Io = old pizza) in my mind:

I can make out cheese topping. olives (green and black), and some onion. Maybe some bell pepper too.

… this is the pizza before I cook it. :smiley:

Ever seen a Garlic & Coriander Nan?

Denny’s picture (top) is sort of a bizarre mixture of Easter colours. Perhaps its a bit of pizza that has lain hidden from sight under the chesterfield since last Easter … :boggle:

Pizza aside, that’s a heck of a volcano… :astonished:

Several times the size, and temperature, of any on Earth. Sulfur too. Don’t think it’d smell at all nice. If you’re a volcanologist then Io has got to be among the most interesting things in the known universe.

Yeah, a bad pizza can do that to me, too. Talk about sulphur … :astonished:

bud, please try to stay on topic, thanks :smiley:

Prometheus my butt! :laughing:

You had your butt gold leafed? Did it hurt?

Talk about sulpher … :astonished:

Where’s his Yarrow Stalk then?

Hmm… and I was thinkking along the lines of gaseous eruptions, but…er… butt… Io… Eeww! The golden form is pretty though.

LOL :wink:

Excellent pic, mate.

'tis a nice shot! :laughing:
