    Fake Io?

    This photo of Io looks unbelievably fake. Is it genuine?

    Yes, but not a dishonest one. It looks like a false-color composite image, probably from more than one photo of the moon.

    Looks pretty, though.

    Maybe it was colourized.

    BTW, welcome to the board!

    It is a false color but otherwise genuine foto. Check the above site for the true color image and an explanation.
