On Io, Jupiter’s volcanic moon, tides dictate movement on the surface, much like on Earth. But these are tides of rock, not water. Io’s orbit tugs its rocky surface up by 100 meters, the same height as a 30-story building.

Recent flybys of the fiery world refute a leading theory of its inner structure — and reveal how little is understood about geologically active moons.
