Another question: Over the years we(I) have consistantly told our
planetarium visitors that the color of Amalthea (reddish) was due to the
inward migration of material from Io and that the thin Jovian rings were no
doubt the tiniest of particles from Io as well. Now I am seeing
suggestions that material from Io may be moving outward against the gravity
gradient and what I had supposed would also slow particles from Io was
Jupiter's magnetic field sweeping the area of ionized and electrically
charges particles. What mechanism enables this outward migration of sulfur,
sodium and other materials from Io to Europa. Do we then "see" evidence of
sulfur deposits from Io on Callisto or beyond?

I asked that question then I noticed a post about a certain Dr. Robert
Carlson. I don't know if this is the same Dr. Robert Carlson that is an
Oncologist from Stanford, but apparently NASA employed him to study data
from Galileo's spectral analysis and claimed that the patterns of sulfur
found on Europa's surface was consistent with some expected exposure to Io.
I'll check out Kargel's model too.
