What is that in the background? Some sort of cloud?

Could I use this in a video please? Here is the link to my channel: youtube.com/c/WubHub

I think the geysers are rather found on Europe. But however this is a great picture.

That is not a geyser. It's a volcanic gas and ash plume. Europe is suspected to have geysers, but Enceladus have spectacular confirmed geysers.Thank you!

Marvelous astronomical painting! Congrats on the DD!

Beautiful. Β There's also more discoveries being made about the lava lakes on this moon, like how Europa's passing causes lava tides and waves which could be a thought in art.

Love the scientific illustrative look to this! And Jupiter, great job!

Wrong moon lol.

What moon is it then?

Enceladus is the one with cryo volcanoes. Β Though, it could also technically be Europa and Ganymede - though we never actually got any evidence of those spewing ices. Β Keep in mind when I say "ice", I'm not actually talking about ice lol. Β The stuff that comes out of these volcanoes is still scorching hot - it's just composed of volatiles, like water, ammonia and methane, instead of molten rock.

I remembered seeing something about Io being volcanically active so I looked it up and this solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/i⦠is what I found. It seems Io is considered the most volcanically active world in the solar system so I guess may have the right moon after all.

It is lol, but it doesn't have any cryo volcanoes as BlueYellowMacaw thought.

Ahh, I see where the confusion is.

So inspiring and the Jupiter planet looks epic... and realistic!

I've always wondered why the plumes from the volcanoes are white instead of either red (fresh lava) or black (cooled lava) But knowing that's the colour they are in the photo's I know this is at least accurate either way

Actually, they're red most of the time! Β The yellowish plumes consist mostly of sulfur dioxide. Β And when they're white or blue-ish, it's usually because the plume is rich in silicates.

That's a good enough explanation to me. Imagine blue volcanic rain coming down

Blue lava exists on Earth as well! It's really cool. I have a piece toying with the idea as well, albeit it less realistic. It's a really beautiful thing I want to see with my own eyes at least once.

I think I saw a video of that once. The blue lava only happens in specific situations in small amounts (and can be a bit hard to see unless it's dark out)

I would say very "atmospheric" XD
Do satellites actually give such shadows on the planets?

Thank you!
Yes they do. You can observe the shadows of Jupiter's moons from earth. I saw them many times through my telescope.
