Discovery of Currently Active Extraterrestrial Volcanism
TLDR
Two volcanic plumes were discovered on an image of Io taken as part of the Voyager optical navigation effort, the first evidence of active volcanism on any body in the solar system other than Earth.Abstract:

TL;DR: The cameras aboard Voyager 1 have provided a closeup view of the Jupiter system, revealing heretofore unknown characteristics and phenomena associated with the planet's atmosphere and the surfaces of its five major satellites.

TL;DR: During the passage of Voyager 1 through the Saturn system, the infrared instrument acquired spectral and radiometric data on Saturn, the rings, and Titan and other satellites, implying a depletion of helium in the atmosphere of Saturn relative to that of Jupiter.

TL;DR: Voyager 2, during its encounter with the Jupiter system, provided images that both complement and supplement in important ways the Voyager 1 images, which revealed a complex and, as yet, little-understood system of overlapping bright and dark linear features.

Empirical model of the Io plasma torus: Voyager measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a description of the Io plasma torus, between 5 and 10 RJ, based on Voyager 1 observations obtained in March 1979, using a model that includes updated analyses of plasma Science (PLS) data obtained along the spacecraft trajectory as well as Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) observations of composition made remotely from Jupiter.

A survey of the plasma electron environment of Jupiter: A view from Voyager
TL;DR: In this article, the in situ, calibrated electron plasma measurements made between 10 eV and 5.95 keV by the Voyager plasma science experiment (PLS) were analyzed and corrected for spacecraft potential variations; the data were reduced to nearly model independent macroscopic parameters of the local electron density and temperature.
