Tvashtor hotspot on Io
This image shows a small area of an image obtained through a narrow-band filter centred at 4.07 µm. The bright object is the Jovian moon Io ; its image is further enlarged to the left. A strong asymmetry is evident, with the Tvashtar hot spot well visible in the upper right quadrant.
