Pele is an active volcano on the surface of Jupiter 's moon Io. It is located on Io's trailing hemisphere at 18.7°S 255.3°W.[1] . A large, 300-kilometer (190 mi) tall volcanic plume has been observed at Pele by various spacecraft starting with Voyager 1 in …

2004年12月16日 · A plume near Io's equator comes from the volcano Pele. It has been active for at least four years, and has been far larger than any other plume seen on Io, until now. The other, nearer to Io's north pole, is a Pele-sized plume that had never been seen before, a fresh eruption from the Tvashtar Catena volcanic area.

2005年1月27日 · One of Io's most unique volcanoes, named "Pele" after Hawai`i's volcano goddess, was the first one discovered on another world. The vent region of Pele is defined by a bright, high-temperature hot spot that has remained remarkably persistent.

1999年1月18日 · One of the most dramatic changes is the appearance of a new dark spot (upper right edge of Pele), 400 kilometers (250 miles) in diameter which surrounds a volcanic center named Pillan Patera.

Pele has been the most intense high-temperature hotspot on Io to be continuously active during the Galileo monitoring from 1996–2001. A suite of characteristics suggests that Pele is an active lava lake inside a volcanic depression.

Pele is one of the largest visible volcanic features on Io and was also the first active volcano discovered on another world. Pele was name after the legendary Hawaiian volcano goddess.
