Eruptions are not unique to our small planet - in fact, exploding is truly a universal language. Our solar system is home to an incredible amount of it - from Venus' entire surface being remade from mile-deep lava to Jupiter's moon, Io, which is the most volcanically active place we know. And we're discovering more about these explosive forces every day, in cold ice-volcanoes on Saturn's moon Enceladus, in the depths of a black hole located in the Virgo constellation, and in huge subterranean lava tubes beneath the surface of Mars, the home to the largest volcano in the solar system, the Olympus Mons.
