This seems to be the source:
https://science.nasa.gov/photojournal/global-image-of-io-true-color/
Thanks! My opinion is that images from NASA, ESA etc should always link to the source. They always include interesting information about what is in the image. It is also nice if I don't need to search the database for ages.
Yeah... I kind of wish it was a request of the channel. I've found a few of the sources now and it's mostly on this channel people seem to post other people's images with no references
I guess OP found this in yesterday's ' Astronomy Picture of the Day ', which includes the link you sent. Would've cost a second to include it in the post.
I wonder what we can do to help motivate including links to sources
I messaged the moderator asking if we could update the channel description but haven't heard back
