Io is the 11th Celestial Body and the 2nd Moon obtained in the Beyond (Rank 5), which can generate Stardust Stardust.

Description

"Io is a rocky, icy moon with intense geological activity. It has active volcanoes that belch plumes of sulfur, mountains taller than any found on Earth, and lava flows that turn the moon's surface yellow."

Traits

The rare traits matching this generators type are: Natural Satellites . Io is also affected by the epic traits: Speed of Light , Cosmic Gravity , Goldilocks Zone . It is also affected by the constellations: Scorpio,Libra, as well as by the generator rank.

Icon	Name	Description	Requires
	Sulfur Plains	Io's bright yellow color is due to the large icy plains, primarily composed of sulfur, that cover its surface. Some of this sulfur may have been produced in volcanic eruptions.	Rank 5
	Volcanic Mountains	The gravity of Jupiter and the other Galilean moons pulls on Io in different directions, causing internal friction. The result is extreme geological activity. The turmoil of Io’s interior has created many active volcanoes on the moon’s surface.	Rank 6

Achievements

Icon	Name	Description	Requires
	Ionized Io	Io’s orbit brings it into Jupiter’s magnetic field. This process ionizes the moon, giving its atoms a negative charge and creating auroras in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere like the Northern Lights on Earth.	Io Rank 5
	The Killing Moon	Io’s sulfur volcanoes and high radiation exposure make it a very dangerous place to explore. The moon’s hostile environment would likely kill any astronauts attempting to land there, so humans have no plans to visit any time soon.	Io Rank 8
