 IO (MOON) FACTS AND INFORMATION
Io (, ''eye'-oe'', Greek ''Ιώ'', Latin ''Īō'') is the innermost of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter.
Although the name "Io" was suggested by Simon_Marius soon after its discovery in 1610, this name and the names of the other Galilean satellites fell into disfavor for a considerable time, and were not revived in common use until the mid-20th_century.
The location of Io with respect to the Earth and Jupiter has a strong influence on the Jovian radio emissions as seen from the earth: When Io is visible, radio signals from Jupiter increase considerably.

 Jupiter's Moon Io
Io is one of 28 moons of Jupiter.
In addition, Io has tremendously high mountains, which are not volcanoes, and tectonic faults that give rise to the mountains and volcanoes, as well as split the mountains apart.
Finally, Io is surrounded by a plasma torus, an ionized cloud of alkali metals, chlorine, sulfur monoxide, sulfur dioxide, oxygen, and sulfur orginating from Io but a part of the Jovian magnetic field.

Io is the innermost of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter.
Although the name "Io" was suggested by Simon Marius soon after its discovery, this name and the names of the other Galilean satellites curiously fell into disfavor for a considerable time, and was not revived in common use until the mid 20th century.
Io's surface is described as "young", as is the Earth's, since the surface features visible today were formed relatively recently.

 PSR Discoveries:Hot Idea: Hot, Mushy Io
Another argument was that mountains on Io (and there are many) would be destroyed at their bases faster than they could be pushed up.
Recent observations of Io led Keszthelyi and coworkers to resurrect the notion of a mushy magma ocean inside Io.
Current estimates of the density of Io's interior range from 3.148 to 3.878 grams per cubic centimeter, though the currently favored value is 3.280, closer to the mushy than to the solid interior.

 Io Blows Its Top
Mountains and related landforms - Researchers know of about 100 mountains on Io that do not appear to be volcanoes.
Io's mountains resemble tilted blocks bounded by steep scarps, said LPL research associate Elizabeth Turtle of the Galileo imaging team.
As the mountains are tilted up, layers of weak, sulfur-rich material deposited by Io's plumes may fail, resulting in tremendous landslides.

 A volcanic flashback on Jupiter's moon Io
The image at left shows Io's surface in approximately true color, centered on the large red ring of sulfur that was deposited by Pele's plume and reaches more than 1,300 kilometers (808 miles) in diameter.
Mountains on Io are much taller than Earth's largest mountains, towering up to 52,000 feet (16 kilometers) high.

 Dashing through the Snow on Io
When Galileo sped past Io's north pole on August 6, scientists were watching for activity from a polar volcano named Tvashtar, which had been spewing a plume several hundred km high only seven months earlier.
Snow on Io is made of sulfur-dioxide that condenses within high-flying plumes.
If Io proves to have its own global magnetic field, it could mean that the moon harbors a self-sustaining magnetic dynamo deep within its core -- just as Earth does.

This false-color infrared composite of Jupiter's moon Io was produced from images acquired during Galileo's first two orbits, at resolutions ranging from 10 to 23 km/pixel and phase angles from 4 to 55 degrees.
I do think that Io's magma's are fairly volatile-poor, given the evidence that the plumes are driven by near-surface interaction between silicate magma or lava and the SO2-rich regolith or upper crustal ground fluid, and that much lava erupts without producing detected plumes.

The Io flybys represent a classic case of "no pain, no gain," since Io orbits close to Jupiter in a region bombarded by radiation from the huge planet's radiation belts.
Sulfur dioxide is normally a gas at room temperatures, but it exists on Io's surface as a frost after condensing there from the hot gases emanating from the Io volcanoes.

I don't think you'd have any problem seeing Io from a nearby spaceship, since if you have a decent telescope, you can look at Jupiter and its moons and see them fine from right here on the surface of the earth.

 Science & Technology at Scientific American.com: Io's Mighty Mountains   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Jupiter's moon Io is truly a tumultuous place: sulfurous gases spew from its many volcanoes, scorching lava inundates its surface, and enormous mountains shoot up from its crust.
In the February issue of Geology, William McKinnon of Washington University and his colleagues suggest a new model for how the moon's mountains form, based on a new analysis of images taken by the Galileo and Voyager spacecrafts.
"These are compressive stress, due to the general movement or sinking of the crust closer to Io's center, and thermal stress, which is generated when regions of cool crust suddenly become heated." The combination breaks up the crust, producing the irregular ranges.
