Jupiter Has a Moon That Shouldn't Exist - What NASA Found on Io

This is Io. And right now, absolute planetary madness is unfolding on its surface. Tons of erupting volcanoes are causing the planet's crust to crack open, magma is bursting through the fractures, and the entire surface is literally warping.
We are looking at the most volcanic and dangerous rocky body in the entire Solar System.
But why does this red-hot world exist so far away from the Sun? Where is it getting all this energy out in deep space? The whole thing gets even stranger when you look at its neighbors. Not a single one of them looks like it’s being ripped apart from the inside. Almost all of them are geologically dead. For some reason, Io is the only one breaking the rule.
Its surface raises even more questions. The Juno space probe has captured objects down there unlike anything else in the Solar System—some of them look so bizarre they almost seem artificial.
Now, look just past Io to another one of Jupiter’s most unique moons. It’s the exact opposite of Io—a world completely encased in ice, with surface temperatures plummeting to minus 200 degrees Celsius. This is Europa.
Today, it’s considered the leading candidate for finding extraterrestrial life. The odds of discovering something alive right beneath its icy shell are so incredibly high that a brand-new NASA probe is already on its way there.
What caused one moon to turn into the most volcanically active world in the Solar System, while another froze almost solid and possibly has life? And why did the rest of Jupiter's moons turn out to be so weird?
