Long lava flows exist on other planetary bodies including Io, a moon of Jupiter. At top right we see a sequence of flows over 150 kilometers in length that have been erupted from Ra Patera (8.4°S, 325.3°W). The state of Hawaii, which is approximately 130 × 150 kilometers in size, has been superimposed in red on this image for a scale comparison. Voyager 16390.06; image enhancement by A. McEwen.
