IMAGE number: PIX4614157
Image title: A Day on Io - 6/6 - Illustration - A Day on Io - 6/6 - Artwork: Io always points the same face towards Jupiter during his orbit and like the Moon from Earth, Jupiter presents different phases to him. This series of images shows the landscape changing in a day from a point in the northern hemisphere of Io-6. At the end of the day, the Sun is just below the horizon to the left. He's about to get up and disappear again behind Jupiter. Io takes about 42 hours to go around Jupiter - Io keeps the same face toward Jupiter as it orbits the planet. For this reason, Jupiter appears to hang motionless in Io's sky. Just as the Earth's Moon does, Jupiter goes through phases as Io orbits it. Here's a gallery showing the view from a location in the northern hemisphere during the course of a single day - 6. Near the end of the day and the sun is just below the left horizon. It will be rising soon only to disappear again behind Jupiter
