English:
These are before and after photos of a volcanic eruption at
en:Pillan Patera
on the moon
Io
. It occurred during a five-month period between April and September 1997, during the
Galileo
spacecraft's seventh and tenth orbits, respectively. The new dark spot around Pillan is approximately 400 kilometers (249 miles) in diameter. Galileo imaged a 120 kilometer (75 mile) high plume erupting from this location during its ninth orbit. Just southwest of this location is the volcano
Pele
, which is surrounded by a bright red ejecta blanket.
The images are taken 168 Earth days apart.
