APOD 4.2

Todays APOD is from March 30th and is an especially cool one.

This is an image of the moon Io that flies around the planet Jupiter. This is the first image of the moon in its true color and I love that it looks like cheese. This photo was taken by the Galileo spacecraft that also orbits the planet.The colors on this moon come from sulfur and silicate. This moon gets so hot that it actually glows in the dark. The main reason I chose this though, is because it looks just like a ball of cheese and I love that it follows the stereotype better than out own moon.
