# Jupiter Moon Io's Volcanoes Look Like Young Earth. WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
New images of monster volcanoes and lava lakes on Jupiter's moon Io could
help scientists look back in time to Earth's younger, more volcanic days.
There are uncanny similarities between the new pictures of Io made by
NASA's Galileo space probe and photographs of the active Kilauea volcano
on the island of Hawaii -- but the volcanic features on Io are as much as
100 times bigger. http://news.excite.com/news/r/991119/16/news-space-io

: What's your favorite primitive planetary surface feature? Do you worship
volcanoes? Is lava the juice of life, planetarily speaking? Is it HOT!?!?!?

bolstered a U.S. theory that the plane was deliberately crashed, were in
fact never spoken. The embarrassing admission strengthens Egyptian opinion
that U.S. media & officials are rushing to judgement on the cause of the
crash. http://news.excite.com/news/r/991120/02/news-crash-egyptair
