Astronomers believe it to be the most powerful eruption ever witnessed in the entire Solar SystemShould read planetary eruption. Io is pretty small. IMHO, a Solar Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from the Sun is just a wee bit more powerful and a touch larger! :-)

Fun science ping.

I think it means 'volcanic eruption'. A coronal ejection isn't the same thing is it?... On another note, could this eruption actually be due to an impact? It appears to be so massive, so out of proportion to Io's size.
