ARRL Public Information Officers (PIOs) are appointed by their Section Manager and report to their ARRL section Public Information Coordinator (PIC). The Section Manager may, at his/her discretion, delegate this appointment power to the section PIC. PIOs are generally recommended by an affiliated club for appointment consideration and must be full ARRL members. Training for PIOs should be provided regularly on a sectional or regional basis by the PIC and/or other qualified people.
Check out some PR Tools for PICs and PIOs.

Skeezy Forebears Complicate Life For Today's Scruffy-But-Upstanding – January 10, 2012
• Wednesday, December 3 9:03 p.m. A man was reported pulling screens off of windows at a Valley West motel.
10:25 p.m. A man was reported pulling screens off of windows at a different Valley West motel.
• Friday, December 2 8:46 a.m. A Bayside Road resident opened her front door to go to work and found a pile of what looked like a heap o' dog waste with a note stuck in it stating, "It is suggested that you don't shit where you live." The note was addressed to a neighbor, the poop-planter having deployed the turd-based admonition at the wrong location.
11:12 a.m. A former employee keeps returning to the workplace from which he had been suspended due to his volatile personality. Police called him and he threatened to call the chief of police and FBI, getting very close to 5150 status.
1:02 p.m. Someone stole a MacBook Pro and $68 from an unlocked bedroom on H Street between 1 and 6 a.m. None of the victim's roommates knew who dunnit.
1:09 p.m. The way it looked to police, an employee was just protecting himself from an agitated and threatening customer when he drew, but didn't fire, his pepper spray.
3:36 p.m. A Haeger Avenue residence stinks like growing pot and there's a lot of coming and going from there. The previous night PG&E came and turned off the electricity because of a huge outstanding power bill.
5:34 p.m. A home invasion robbery in an HSU residence hall set off a search for suspects, which are graually being tracked down and arrested as of this writing.
7:22 p.m. Something named "Louie" at a Valley West gas station became argumentative when told that it's not legal to fill a glass container with gasoline.
11:57 p.m. Three people huffing some sort of gas out of a balloon at 17th and H streets threw an empty container at someone who walked by.
• Saturday, December 3 2:36 a.m. A drinker in a Samoa Boulevard parking lot was arrested along with a cohort. In some, this would provoke a bout of introspection. But there's no situation so dismal that it can't be made abysmal by acting out. En route to jail, he head-butted the screen inside the police car and even his fellow prisoner, earning an assault charge.
9:42 a.m. A rape case was initiated.
• Sunday, December 4 12:04 a.m. A bitchin' kegger on Stewart Avenue was given a disturbance warning.
• Monday, December 5 5:47 p.m. After a woman texted her mother stating that "This is the worst day of my life," police checked on her. Firefighters were called to help gain entry to her home, and she was then sent by ambulance to the hospital. Police had to call fire personnel back to the scene to return parts of her door that they had taken.
3:02 p.m. A "scruffy" man was wrongly accused of stealing a backpack at a Valley West motel, suffering unfair profiling because of the skeezy activities committed by his scruffy forebears.
8:58 p.m. Four men and a woman reportedly threw "food" around at a Valley West burger joint, left, came back and threatened the staff, then scampered again.
8:58 p.m. A man asked for police help because after using mouthwash, his alcohol-detecting car ignition interlock wouldn't let the car start. An officer administered a PAS alcohol test, which came back negative.
• Tuesday, December 6 3:09 p.m. The cell phone connection was sketchy, but a Community Forest bicyclist called to report a mountain lion on Trail 16. He called back later to report that he had made it out OK.
3:30 p.m. A loose goat visited a yard on Old Arcata Road on goat business.
• Wednesday, December 7 3:17 p.m. A vehicle was reported sitting at Foster avenue and Wisteria Way, its doors open and a baby inside. The owner said that he had accidentally flushed the car keys down the toilet of a nearby home, and was working on retrieving a spare set of keys from Eureka.
• Thursday, December 8 9:43 p.m. Police were asked to review a Samoa Boulevard business's security video to help confirm an embezzlement.
• Friday, December 10 5:55 p.m. A mountain lion was spotted in the 3400 block of Buttermilk Lane.
• Saturday, December 11 12:48 p.m. Two hobos and their flaming shopping cart parted ways at the Spear Avenue/St. Louis Road roundabout. One was arrested on an arson charge.
8:32 p.m. Three men of adventure on the Plaza announced bold plans to pee on the McKinley statue for unfathomable purpose. Police poured out their liquor, told them to stop smoking and head on out, leaving McKinley non-moisturized.
• Sunday, December 12 6:40 p.m. When Tom and Sam returned to the Vanciel Homestead on K Street, so did their goats. Police asked them to get the goats off the sidewalk, and this, like most other encounters with officialdom, this became a tension-filled interaction.
• Monday, December 13 8:34 a.m. When a 60-year-old woman threatened to kill a store manager with a cigarette, it seemed like the onset of a manic episode. Her family took her away for treatment.
4:25 p.m. In the gray gloom of a drizzly winter's afternoon, an unkempt woman outside a Ninth Street service center screamed about her hunger, demanding food, as the ludicrous giant colorful lollipop she was clutching obviously wasn't providing any helpful nutrition. "I'm hungry!" she screeched as a couple of other street people tried to calm her. As a man walked past her, she turned and spat on the side of his face for no obvious reason. "Why'd you spit on me?" he asked. "Because I'm hungry," she said, the cause and effect remaining elusive. Wiping the spittle from his face, the passerby called police, who arrived to detain the disturbed woman and her sucker outside the fire station. The victim declined prosecution of the unwell woman, but was concerned that she might extend her saliva bombardment to the families out Christmas shopping on the Plaza. She was deemed 5150 and taken to a Eureka mental health facility.
• Tuesday, December 14 12:56 a.m. An I Street resident reported two men out front of her house, talking loudly about her Christmas lights. They were asked to move along.
9:09 a.m. The Fire Department's State of California flag was stolen overnight.
1:15 p.m. A loose goat briefly ruminated at Margaret Lane and Chester Avenue.

Jury Awards $41+ Million to Family of Hotel Stabbing Victim
By Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C.
In June, a Texas jury awarded $41.55 million in damages to the family of a woman who was fatally stabbed at a hotel. According to the facts of the case, the victim, Kari Hunt Dunn, was fatally stabbed by her husband at the Baymont Inn & Suites in Marshall Texas in December of 2013.
This wrongful death case and trial, while the result of a terrible tragedy, were closely followed for the unique legal issues involved. As court records indicate, the 31-year-old victim had been stabbed by her estranged husband at the hotel. Following the attack, the couple's 9-year-old daughter attempted to call 911 four times, but did not realize that she had to first dial "9" in order to reach an outside line. The daughter also gestured to two employees of the hotel that she needed help, but neither responded to her or alerted the general manager of the emergency.
A lawsuit filed by Kari's father named both her husband and the hotel owner, OM Lodging LLC, as defendants in the case. While the husband was sued because of his intentional infliction of harm, the hotel owner was named as a defendant because the family alleged it was negligent and that it failed to adequately train employees on how to properly respond to emergencies. As claimed in the suit, Kari would have had a substantial chance of surviving had she received emergency treatment sooner, but died in part because the hotel owner failed to uphold its obligation to reasonably render aid.
At the end of trial, the jury determined that both parties were at fault for Kari's death, and assigned 80% fault to Kari's husband, and 20% to OM Lodging. In addition to the positive outcome for the family, the case has inspired efforts to address difficulties with dialing 911 from businesses like hotels, where guests often have to "dial out" in order to reach parties outside of the business. Those efforts led to Texas passing "Kari's Law," which was also signed into federal law by President Donald Trump in February. The law requires businesses to allow for direct access to 911 so as to avoid similar situations.
Liability in Emergency Situations
Kari's death was a tremendous tragedy for her family, but it has helped enact important legislation to prevent similar difficulties from causing harm to victims in the future. It also provides an important reminder that hotels and businesses have legal obligations when it comes to keeping visitors and guests safe from preventable harm, especially in emergency situations.
Based on laws and legal concepts such as premises liability, property and business owners have legal duties to take reasonable measures that ensure the safety of guests. This can include any number of measures that would protect guests from harm that could and should be prevented, such as:
Addressing potential hazards on their property they knew or should have known about;
Fixing holes, slippery surfaces, and other dangerous conditions that may foreseeably result in slip, trip, or fall accidents;
Ensuring adequate security to prevent guests from suffering harm in third party assaults, such as assaults at nightclubs where confrontations between guests are common;
Taking steps to ensure adequate supervision and safe conditions near pools to avoid drowning accidents;
In addition to taking measures such as these, hotels and other businesses also need to ensure adequate safety policies and properly train their employees when it comes to emergencies. Doing so, as was shown in Kari's case, could very well mean the difference between life and death – and failing to do so may result in liability, as least in part, for failing to uphold legal duties and prevent victims from suffering further harm.
At Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C., our legal team has handled many challenging cases involving complex issues of liability, including cases involving premises liability and the legal obligations of businesses that owe a duty of care to their guests.

Name Musings: January 2017
Well, what a hectic January it has been, full of new starts and promises for things to come. And the names have been interesting, too!
2017 kick-started with a bang with the premier of the fourth series of Sherlock. I won't give any spoilers, but needless to say, the name of the series is Euros. The name (pronounced YOO-ros) is taken from the name of the ancient Greek god of the East Wind. In this case, however, Euros is female -- though the naming after the god appears to be deliberate.
This Greek name is very rare in Britain. However, confusingly, the Welsh name Euros (pronounced AYR-ros) from the Welsh aur "gold" isn't unheard of.
Bohemond
The BBC's Timewatch series recently aired their documentary on the Crusades. One name that caught my attention immediately was Bohemond (pronounced BŌ-ə-mənd) -- the name of one of the leaders of the First Crusade who became Prince of Antioch. According to legend, this Bohemond was a large baby and was originally christened with the name Mark, but was nicknamed Bohemond by his father who had recently heard tale of a giant named Buamundus gigas.
Balian
Another find from the Crusades is Balian, used by the notable Crusader Ibelin family. Orlando Bloom brought the name to the big screen when he played one Balian of Ibelin (pronounced BAY-lee-ən) in the 2005 Hollywood epic Kingdom of Heaven. It has always surprised me that Balian has failed to catch on again.
While we are on the subject of returning television programmes, Channel Four have recently brought back irreverent police drama series No Offense, featuring the feisty main character DC Dinah Kowalska. Once again I'm reminded of lovely Dinah and how great it is to see the name on such a string, independent character. Other great character names in the series include Vivienne "Viv", Joy, Nora, Spike, Randolph and Jonah.
Another return to the screen this January is Call the Midwife, which I love, but would watch for the period baby-naming alone. This series is set in 1962, so I'm expecting some great period names to come from this series. For the moment, however, I'm struck by the name of actress Emerald Fennell who plays midwife Patsy Mount (who's full name, it turns out, is Patience, not Patricia as expected). Given the success of Ruby, Jade and even Jasper, I definitely this there is room for more Emeralds.
Richard Branson recently proudly announced the arrival of his new grandson Bluey Rafe Richard Branson, a brother for Eva-Deia and cousin for twins Artie and Etta. Announcing the arrival on Virgin.com, proud grandad explained the significance of Bluey:
"There are many reasons behind the name Bluey. His great-great grandfather was a Cambridge rowing blue, while his great-grandfather (my dad) was a Cambridge swimming blue... When Sam was born (early) I was attempting to win the Blue Riband back for Britain by completing the fastest crossing of the Atlantic by boat.[...] Finally, all of our family loves Australia, especially Sam, who spent his gap year there. Sam, Bellie and Eva-Deia also spent some magical time there recently before Bluey's birth. When we were trying to come up with a name for our airline in Australia, we chose Virgin Blue after an Aussie explained to me that Bluey meant redhead in Australia. The flying maidens on the side of our planes had red hair too."
Caben
Stephanie Davis has finally announced the name of her son as Caben-Albi George Davis. Some of you may remember that Stephanie was part of a name-stealing saga back in July, when she announced that she wanted to name her son Albie in honour of her late grandfather Albert. Life on Marbs reality star Alex Weaver, who had recently named her son Albie, was very put out because, in her words: "I called him that because it was original and there wouldn't be any Albie's in his class". [I know, right? Albie. Original. When it's at #107!!!"]
Anyhow, seems Steph was perturbed enough by this to slightly alter her name choice. Writing for her blog for OK magazine recently, Steph revealed: "I've picked my boy's name! It's not Albi but that will definitely be a middle name.
"I'm going to keep it a secret for now but I will say it's something different – I've not heard it before! It's like a movie star name.
"We got it when I was getting chatted up with my friends recently and he said his name when he left – we just all looked at each other and knew, so thanks to him!"
So, while the Branson family are taking pains to explain the origin and meaning behind Bluey's unusual moniker, Ms. Davis is happy to embrace a name with no meaning other than she just met a man with it and liked the sound of it. And, yet, really, does that make the name any less significant?

Name of the Week: Archer
Archer started out as an occupational surname quite literally denoting a person who was an archer or a bowman. The word archer is Anglo-French, used since the 13th century, a development of the Old French archier "archer, bowmaker" and earlier the Latin arcuarius, from arcus "bow".
Archery is an ancient art form, dating back around 10,000 years, and a crucial military and hunting skill before the use of gunpowder. So important was it for millennia, countless cultures around the world featured the practice as a key part of their mythology and religious pantheons. Deities associated with archery are numerous, — Apollo, Artemis, Diana, Cupid, Marduk, Ullr, Rama, Krishna and Karna are just a few — alongside folk-legends such as Robin Hood, William Tell and Palnatoke.
The ideal of "the archer" is even immortalised in the stars by the constellation Sagittarius. The name Sagittarius is also a Latin term for an archer, but while arcuarius relates to the word arcus "bow", sagittarius comes from sagitta "arrow."
As a surname, Archer has been in use in Britain since at least the 12th century. The 1166 Pipe rolls have record of an Edward Archier in Hampshire and Robert L'archier in Wiltshire. Le Archer still survives as the surnames Larcher and L'Archer. A Hugh le Archer is mentioned in the Feet of Fines for Cambridgeshire in 1199.
Archer's common use as a surname, even today, attests to how essential archery was in medieval society.
In the 11th and 12th century, the crossbow was considered a weapon of mass destruction, both feared and revered, and highly divisive. Although highly prised for its effectiveness on the battlefield, it was also feared for its role as a social equaliser. Any man (be them peasant or nobleman) could wield the weapon which could penetrate armour at vast distances. No armoured nobleman or king was safe on the battlefield, and that was a danger to the highly stratisfied medieval social structure. So much so that the use of crossbows was banned in 1096 by Pope Urban II and later again by Pope Innocent II in 1139.
The Normans, of course, had brought the crossbow over to Britain with them — supposedly, King Harold even got shot in the eye at the Battle of Hastings! — so it is little wonder that the surname Archer came into use in the 12th century.
Despite the Papal ban, Richard I employed large numbers of mercenary crossbowmen, principally the Balestrieri from Genoa who were renowned for their prowess. Ironically, Richard himself was shot by a commoner during the seige of the castle of Châlus and died of his wounds. Despite this, his nephew Henry III, and following Edward I, had thousands of quarrels (crossbow arrows) mass produced to equip their armies.
While the crossbow was more powerful, they were also slow to reload and were vulnerable to wet weather. When Edward I set out to conquer Wales, it is said that that Welsh archers, employing the use of longbows in their guerrilla tactics, took a heavy toll on the invaders. So impressive was this, that Welsh bowmen became a feature of English armies from that point on, and the longbow (which had long been used by hunters and foresters) became the bow of choice in England, and gained a reputation as a noble, mythic weapon. This was reinforced by the legends of Robin Hood, first recorded in writing in 1377, which abounded at this time.
The longbow is credited with being the reason for several stunning English victories in France during the Hundred Years War, including the Battle of Crécy (1346), the Battle of Poitiers (1356) and the Battle of Agincourt (1415).
So important was the role of the longbow in English military prowess, that English monarchs were keen to encourage its use to ensure military preparedness. Even the poorest male citizens were expected obtain a longbow matching their height, and butts were set up in every village and town.* Edward I banned all sports but archery on Sundays, to make sure Englishmen practised with the longbow, and later in 1363, Edward III ordered all able-bodied men to practice archery every Sunday and holidays with a halfpenny fine for those who failed to participate.
Eventually, however, the introduction of firearms took precedence over archery on the battlefield, but by this time, surnames had established themselves as hereditary names in England, and so Archer's use as a surname was secure and in good use.
Archer's use as a first name dates back to the 17th century when it was often used to honour a family member or godparent. From this point on, the name was almost exclusively male. One notable early bearer was the MP Sir Archer Croft, 2nd Baronet (1683–1753); in his case, Archer was his mother's maiden name.
Data from the Surname Atlas (click to enlarge)
The 1841 UK census lists 157 Archers: 151 male, 6 female. By 1861 the figure had risen significantly to 276 (7 female) with over a third under the age of ten; in 1881 the number had doubled to 538 (5 female) and again to 1,027 (11 female) in 1901.
Data from the 1881 census (see image right) shows that areas where the surname was most common also correspond to areas where Archer was used most frequently as a given name.
In England and Wales, Archer increased progressively in use in the 19th century, peaking in the 1880s. It gradually declined from that point, becoming rare by the 1940s. The following is a list of births for the name Archer in England and Wales per decade:
1840s: 91 births
1850s: 106 births
1950s: 2 births
From 1996 to 2004 Archer was registered no more that 12 times (#1410 in 2004) in any given year in England and Wales, and first reached the top 1000 in 2006 at #814 (31 births). However, from 2010 the name started to rise, reaching #484 (79 births) in 2012 and continued to rise.
It's rise is not surprising. Archie has been in the top 50 since 2003 and top 20 since 2013. Several of the birth announcements I have featured on this blog have seen Archer used with Archie as a nickname, perhaps indicating that parents are drawn to Archer as a "formal" name for Archie which is lighter and more modern than Archibald. Add in the rise of other occupational surnames ending in -er such as Dexter, Carter, Hunter, Parker and Cooper, and Archer's upward curve was inevitable.
In 2015, Archer ranked #337 (139 births) in England and Wales. Regionally, however, Archer was most popular in the East, where it ranked #180, followed by the South West where it was #228.
In Scotland the name was once rare. From 1974 to 2011, it was only registered four times: once in 1977, 1988, 2009 and 2011. It garnered two births in both 2012 (#819) and 2013 (#847), but had risen #439 (7 births) in 2014. In 2015, Archer ranked #359 (9 births) in Scotland.

Name of the Week: Bryony
Bryony is a botanical name, given to a wild twining hedgerow and woodland plant. There are two types: white bryony and black bryony, both of which have white flowers and bear berries.
The Latin name of the plant is Bryonia, derived from the Greek βρύω (bruō) "to swell, to teem with fruit, to be full, to abound," most likely referring to the plant's ability to grow swiftly and luxuriantly.
Bryony Brooke, 1911 census (click to enlarge)
The first record of the name appears in Scotland in 1877. Briony Rebe Pearl Brooke was born on the 13th April 1877 in Falkirk to an Irish father who was a rector and English mother. Her name (as written by her father in his own hand) was spelled "Bryony" on the 1911 English census. Her sisters sported the names Myrtle Katinka Carrie Honor, Avens Selena Rebecca Amy and Orpine Lucy Saurin -- all are the names of plants -- so her parents were clearly inspired by nature.
There were no other registrations for Bryony/Briony in after that Scotland until 1912.
The first registration for Bryony in England and Wales is 1897. Bryony Murray-Morgan's birth was registered in July-September 1897 and death (under the name Briony Murray-Morgan) in October-December of the same year. [There is a transcribed record of a Bryony Kerry in 1859, but other records show that this was in fact Bryan Kerry]. As there are no other records for this child, it is impossible to tell their gender.
The name was not registered again in England and Wales until 1905; the spelling Briony was first registered in 1931. A breakdown of the number of registrations in E&W for Bryony and Briony per decade are as follow:
Bryony Briony
1960s: 1 birth
13 birth
95 births
183 births
The sudden upswing in the 1940s, particularly in the spelling Briony, can be explained by the character Sister Briony in Rumer Godden's 1939 novel Black Narcissus, which was made into a film in 1947. Briony is mentioned as a name inspired by film in this newspaper article from the Essex Newsman in 1948.
Leslie Dunkling's sample for girls named Bryony in every 10,000 births are as follows:
- - - - - - 2 2 2 - 4 14
Both Bryony and Briony were at a peak in 1996 ranking #129 (362 births) and #346 (99 births) respectively. Both declined after that point, and by 2009, Bryony was just outside the top 500, and Briony the top 1000.
In Scotland, Bryony had been gradually rising since 1974, peaking at #176 (24 births) in 1998. After that it declined, and has been at a plateau between #600-#700 since 2009.
In 2015, Bryony ranked #1114 (34 births) in England and Wales and #1055 (2 births) in Scotland. Briony ranked #1711 (17 births) in England and Wales. It did not rank at all in Scotland.

Name of the Week: Everett
Everett is a later form (and surname variant) of Everard, brought over to Britain by the Normans as a form of the Old Germanic name Eburhard — ebur "boar" and hard "brave, hardy." This was cognate with the Old English name Eoferheard.
The Old English form, Eoferheard, was certainly in some use before the Norman invasion of 1066 in Britain, though not in high frequency. The Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England (PASE) lists six moneyers with the name prior to the Conquest, but other examples are rare.
After the Conquest, Eoferheard was reinforced by the Germanic Eberhard, and there are seven subtenants in 1086 with the name (recorded as Ebrardus and Eurardus) in the Domesday book. Given the shift of power to Norman hands, these lords were undoubtedly using the Germanic form of the name rather than the Anglo-Saxon. Reaney and Wilson point out that, though the name Everard may sometimes be from the Old English Eoferheard, many bearers of the name during the Middle Ages were from the Continent, and the surname forms usually correspond with the Germanic cognate.
Saint Evrard or Eberhard, Duke of Friuli (815-866), was a key figure in the Carolingian Empire and a notable military and political leader, who may have influenced the use of the name in Europe. Another saint to bear the name was Saint Eberhard of Salzburg a.k.a. Saint Everard (d. 1164).
The use of Everard in Britain was substantial enough that it created the surnames Everard, Everett, Everatt, Everitt, Evered and Everid. Everard was used from the 15th century particularly by the aristocracy, most notably the Digby family. One Sir Everard Digby (c. 1578–1606) was one of the Gunpowder Plotters of 1605.
As with all surnames, Everett itself began use as a given name from the 16th century, usually as an adoption of a family surname. By the 19th century, it became better established as a given name. There are even instances of Everetta in use as a feminised form, though sometimes Everett itself was used for girls.
Intriguingly, data from the 1881 census shows that Everett as a given name was most popular in Nottinghamshire, but this does not correspond (as is usual) to the areas where the surname was most common (see image, right)
Statutory birth registrations per decade in England & Wales for Everett and Everard:
Everett Everard
16 births 53 births
Having peaked in the 1880s and 1890s, Everett gradually began to decline over the course of the 20th century.
From 1996 to 2010, Everett did not appear in the official name rankings for England and Wales at all: meaning that no more than two children were given the name in any given year. However, in 2010 it ranked #3865 with 4 births, and has been rising ever since 2013.
In 2015, Everett ranked #1511 with 16 births.
Everett was not registered at all in Scotland from 1974 to 2010. In 2010, 2012 and 2013 Everett was registered for one boy in each year.
* Saint Evrard of Friuli (815-866), Carolingian military and political leader.

Top 10 Incredible Moons of Our Solar System
The very first space exploration missions were rather disappointing, considering that the only things we actually found were bland, colorless and inhospitable environments where life as we know it would be impossible. However, as the space shuttles dived further into the solar system, most scientists realized just how wrong they were.
At this point, there are over 200 natural satellites recorded in the solar system, some of which having incredible features and a remarkable diversity. In fact, some of these moons are so amazing that some researchers believe they can foster life. Let's review 10 of the most fascinating natural satellites in the solar system.
1. Titan
While many scientists dub the second largest moon in the solar system as the Second Earth, looks can be deceiving. Even though Saturn's natural satellite includes a dense atmosphere and it is mostly composed of nitrogen, Titan's atmosphere also includes methane and ethane. Moreover, in spite of the fact that it is the only planetoids except Earth to contain liquid seas, lakes and oceans (deducted via the bright regions observed on its surface), they are actually composed of hydrocarbons and methane gases. Yet, many researchers believe that we will colonize Titan (even just for the purpose of harvesting Saturn's resources) at one point or another.
2. Io
According to our current knowledge, an object the size of Io should have been geologically inactive for quite some time now. Yet, the huge tidal friction from Jupiter as well as a few other natural satellites of the solar system's giant (Europa and Ganymede) makes Io the most volcanic place in the solar system. As a matter of fact, the tidal friction exerted by Jupiter and its nearby moons create an enormous amount of heat that maintains Io's surface constantly liquid (and renewable). Due to the tremendous eruptions, some of which rising as high as 190 miles, no space shuttle was able to examine the composition of the liquid surface of Io, although some assume it is mostly molten sulfur like in the atmosphere.
3. Europa
Europa represents the second celestial body in the solar system where scientists believe life would be possible. Perhaps the most distinguishable fact about Europa, its incredibly smooth surface is actually an ice crust hiding a huge ocean that spans throughout the entire surface. Similar to Io, this moon is affected by the tidal friction of Jupiter, an aspect that opens several discussions regarding the temperatures of the liquid. Considering that Europa also has an iron core (like Earth), you can understand where the speculations about extraterrestrial life on it come from.
4. Ganymede
With a diameter of 3,270 miles, Ganymede is actually larger than planet Mercury and gracefully holds the title of the largest moon of the solar system. At first glance, Ganymede does not impress much, considering that it looks pretty much like the Moon. However, the big difference between Ganymede and Moon consists of the fact that the former is so large that it has its own magnetic field. Because magnetic fields are associated with planets, many scientists have suggested that Jupiter's moon is actually a planet. Well, if Ganymede were orbiting the Sun instead of Jupiter, then it would surely have been considered a planet.
5. Enceladus
Hiding deep inside Saturn's inner rings, Enceladus is the only body in the solar system that reflects 100% of the light hitting its surface, making this moon the second brightest object after the Sun. Still, this is not the most interesting aspect of Enceladus. Observations show that its surface is subjected to major resurfacing events and that the Southern polar region contains massive geysers, which are the main source of the ice and dust particles of Saturn's E ring.
